Since most of my photos are on the computer these days, I suppose I would take my CDs - the back-ups....Thanks, you've reminded me to do some backing-up!

Forgot that Berona. Yes my family tree is backed up so I would have to take the "stick" and CD's.

If my cats were safe - nothing!
Letters my gran wrote to my grandad in 1924 have been transcribed, put on CD's and handed out to various members of the family.
It would be nice to save the originals, but I'm not sure where they are at the moment................
I hope my children & grandchildren would just like to see 'Grandma Meow' safe!!!

Photos

Then Laptop ( has digital photos on it )
Then Family history stuff ( can always buy certs again but never photos)

Then, if I could be bothered the next time, if there is one,......I may even wake the Oh up before the smoke gets to him.
