I've been weeding

[somerstown]

I was going through my large box of family history papers and weeded out those not needed. You know, the ones that, "might end up on the tree" but don't"
I thought computers saved paper, I have just taken a giant black bag full of (mostly computer print outs) papers as a result of the foregoing to the recycle bin! Must be a whole oak tree in there! :2fun:

So are you telling me that even if I move stuff to the computer I will still be dragging around that tote bag full of paper?

I "killed" 3 paper shredders in 12 months once because of those unwanted papers Tho will admit im not sure if its because of the amount of papers or if i just bought lousy shredders :2fun::2fun:

You always end up with more printouts than you need paper mounts up very quick thank goodness for black bags and recycle.

As long as you don't throw them out and then find you should have kept them.

I have a filing cabinet full of family history notes, hand written on pieces of paper, most of them not the least bit relevant to my tree, but treasures from 1980 to yesterday.
I just can't bring myself to shred them, just in case???
I always say I'm gunna toss them, but haven't yet.
My paper shredder had a hard life just shredding 20 year old tax papers and bills recently....I hoarded them too.
