My Father is 84 and we are constantly encouraging him to share stories about our family and our ancestors. I grew up in a household where that was very important, knowing where your family came from. My Mother grew up in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia where a common question you are asked when meeting someone new is "what's your father's fathers name?"
We've asked Dad to write down his memories so we can save them for generations to come. But here is an even better idea, video tape my Father's stories, edit them down (because believe me at 84, he would need editing) and then share copies with my family.
Guess what, there is a company at the Hub that can do this - Lifetime Tributes. Now of course they do the standard wedding and celebration video but they also do a more low key collection and honouring of long standing memories. I love this idea!
This video is very directed to weddings but they do biographies too.
