It is sad to hear of loss of property. I don't know if you have heard of the floods occurring in Queensland at present. A large number of people have lost the contents of their homes. I was sad to think of all the family history lost. I have heard that wet photos can be saved but I don't think too many people will know that and will throw their photos on to the growing piles of damaged household goods. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Josephine Jeremiah" <jojeremiah@dsl.pipex.com> To: <bristol_and_somerset@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, January 08, 2011 6:29 AM Subject: [B&S] Midsomer Norton Library closed after damage caused by burstpipes > Midsomer Norton Library is closed for at least a month after damage caused > by burst pipes. > > http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-somerset-12135679 > > I love books so it's sad to read that about 300 books were damaged as well > as carpet and furniture. > > -- > Josephine Jeremiah > www.ianandjo.dsl.pipex.com > > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > BRISTOL_AND_SOMERSET-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' > without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message >

Hi Kathleen, Your mention of family history and photos lost made me think of my old family photographs, which are saved on a CD along with my family history search. The CD is left in a safe place so that if disaster strikes I have something saved. However, I know that I must take steps to distribute copies of the photographs to family members. I must add that thought to my New Year's Resolutions for family history. Josephine -- Josephine Jeremiah www.ianandjo.dsl.pipex.com
You are are ahead of me. I have not gotten around to putting all my photos on CD. I will have to do that also. Seeing the floods will give me the incentive to start. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Josephine Jeremiah" <jojeremiah@dsl.pipex.com> To: <bristol_and_somerset@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, January 08, 2011 8:08 PM Subject: [B&S] Saving family photographs (was Midsomer Norton Library closed after damage caused by burstpipes) > On Sat, 08 Jan 2011 00:45:16 -0000, Kathleen Starr <starr2010@bigpond.com> > wrote: > >> It is sad to hear of loss of property.
