Videoing Family Stories



movie_film_camera--2Oral family history is as old as families themselves. Long before writing, one’s traditions and history were passed down to later generations by the telling verbally of family stories. True, many of the family stories become tales or legends over the years and not with all the actual truth that it started with.

With writing of family stories, preservation greatly improved. With technology of the 21st century, a good video can be made by anyone of a relative being interviewed or just that person telling their memories.
