Genealogist's Family Safely Escapes Fire that Destroys Home and Old Family Photographs

The MLive web site has a sad news/good news/sad news story: The sad news is that genealogist Beth Bourque and her family lost their home in Plainfield Township, Michigan, in a fire. The good news is that the entire family escaped safely. The other sad news is that everything in the home was lost, including hundreds of old family photographs.

You can read the full story in an article by Aaron Aupperlee on the MLive web site at http://goo.gl/tulPI.

Have you digitized your old photographs and stored them OFF-SITE?
