 After I wrote that I was reminded of a CBC radio program in my region that has a genealogy show.<p>The expert guest on genealogy said people often hoard family artifacts and if (when) there is a disaster such as a fire in their home it&#x27;s all lost.<p>The hoarder would be better off sharing information and some artifacts among relatives but some people feel compelled to hide it as if it were treasure (which it may be).
