[QUOTE="Revenant, post: 9725004, member: 84830"]Been lurking and reading and finally decided to join the group! I am looking forward to learning some history from all of you, as well as sharing some of mine. A short personal bio: Currently living in The Woodlands, TX. Two grown kids, one of which has my love for all things old. I'm in my mid 60s and am an only child that has been handed down 3 or 4 generations of family belongings from a long history in PA and NY. Overwhelming amounts of things passed down, some personally valuable, many monetarily. I sorted and reduced the amount of stuff when I had to move my mother (an avid lover of all things early American) to TX to take care of her - sorted it again when she passed away 5 years ago, and am facing the need to reduce the amount of items again before I downsize my living arrangement. I hope to pick the brains of you knowledgeable folks about the process of getting some things appraised, feedback on ways to list some things for sale and general opinions on dealing with the whole act of "letting go" of stuff that had importance to family. Sorry for the long intro. I will continue to poke around the different parts of the forums, so please bear with me. Hope to have a great experience getting to know some of you![/QUOTE]
