My Mums wedding ring from my Dad was passed on to me I kept it for many a year & then recently I passed it on to my Son.

I have many pictures as well as little things. For instance I have an old beat up book mark that she used to keep places in books she read me. I also have a pillow case that she brought over with her from Ireland. I think it's wonderful when I can pass these things down to my own children

I got given a dream/ fortune teller book that was my great great grans, (my gran is 93). It is a bit spooky but is also very accurate so far and has predicted lots of event for me and my sister. It;'s all pretty vague though so could be coincidence - eg: my husband is tall dark and handsome as they predicted when I was 17.

When my Grandma died we found a bible that had all the names of the family it had belonged to in it along with their family tree. It went back a long way and was fascinating reading for a bible!

When my grandma died many years ago, each of her grandchildren was able to take 1 item to remember her. Some picked crystal dishes or fancy plates. I picked the A&W rootbeer mug that she made me rootbeer floats in when I visited. It is in my china cupboard along side my fanciest crystal, where I can see it every day and remember my special grandma.

Oh Gosh, let's see.... My grandmother gave me the bible she got on her confirmation. My husband has a rifle that states back to the Spanish/American war I believe it was, a few times great-grandfather of his fought in the war. He has a sword as well from a few times great- relative, but I forget which one or why.

I have my granfathers war kilt he was in the Black Watch regiment and somehow he managed to keep hold of his army kilt and when he died it was passed to me. I have to say it is a fantastic kilt and really really heavy. My mum has his photo album in this there photo's of him in the desert with his uniform on in his kilt I love these photo's too amazing record of his life as a desert rat.
