I realize that the more you have, the harder your "job" or archivist will be. But not having much information leaves so many gaps in my understanding of my parents and their families. I have one photo of my mom as a child, one photo of my father as a child, one photo of my parents when they got married, one photo of my parents with my brother as a baby. And nothing until much later. We were not a family to have cameras.
