Family Video Biography | New Lives in America

Sample family video biography from http://www.yourstoryherehome.com

Ireland-born grandparents Loretta and Thomas have been together for 50 years. Here, in the opening chapter of their family video biography, they visit the first home they owned together in America, and their first family church.

Loretta and Thomas are just two of an increasing number of people who are deciding to record their family stories on video for the benefit of their children, their grandchildren, their wider family, and all those who will follow.

Blending on-camera interviews, personal and archive photographs, maps and historical films as well as letters and documents, text, graphics and music elements, subjects can have their family histories come alive in a custom video biography which enlists the interest of all the generations.

Family video biographies do not necessarily replace written family histories. Often, the subject who has written a biography chooses to then tell their ancestors' and their own story on video. (The interest and accessibility of the video biography often excites interest in the written family history and the genealogical records.)
