8. Old bank statements
It doesn’t matter if they’re old; you must shred them too! Old bank statements are another type of document you should shred if they’re no longer available. Mostly because they contain crucial information about your name, phone number, and home address. Shred it even if you’ve already closed the account!
9. Canceled checks
Shred any physical copies or printouts of your bank’s check cancellations, as most banks now only provide digital versions. They have a lot of specific personal data, which can put you in danger. Have the canceled checks destroyed to eliminate any risk they may pose.

Thinking about all the documents mentioned, as a genealogists, i can say many of these are available online to access/download and not all are for dead folks. Also, you can find many of them and old photos as well uploaded to family trees.
