A Family Legacy connects a family across generations and keeps a family’s story alive. One way to ensure a family’s legacy stays alive and meaningful is by capturing the stories of one generation for the next in a family Legacy Video.
A Legacy Video is a memoir on video that captures a family’s stories and history though filmed interviews with one or more family members. The interviews are then edited and woven together with family photos, documents, maps and other memorabilia. The result is a beautiful “moving portrait” – a modern-day family heirloom that can be passed on for generations.
Whether documenting family stories in a Legacy Video, journal or on audio, preserving stories has a lasting impact…
Family Stories
- When family stories and history aren’t passed from one generation to the next, they are often lost forever.
- While ancestors names and dates may be found in public records, it is the personality, everyday achievements, sorrows and life lessons that make up the intimacy of the family experience. These only survive in the stories we pass from one generation to the next.
- Learning how a family member lived through an event such as a war, The Great Depression or immigrating to a new country, brings history to life with new relevance while teaching valuable life lessons to younger generations.
- Family stories are often full of humor, adventure and poignancy. Storytelling can become a favorite part of family gatherings and the family experience.
- When children hear stories of a parent or grandparent as a child, it helps them connect on a more personal level.
- Preserving family stories will increase the chances that future generations will value and carry on the tradition of documenting, adding to and retelling the stories through new eyes in every generation.
Family stories are too important to leave to memory. Preserving them today ensures a family’s legacy remains vibrant and alive for generations to come.
