Thanks for sharing that. What a great story. I have a 4th cousin who has some documents dating back to 1800, in almost mint condition. I've thought she should donate them to some museum or university in Coventry, as that is where they originated. They are indenture contracts, and one we don't believe is our family at all anyway. But then again, I don't know if I would let them go if I owned them. As it stands, I'm terrified to even touch them.  :o
