After I wrote that I was reminded of a CBC radio program in my region that has a genealogy show. 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's all lost. 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).
