With Thanksgiving just around the corner, thoughts often turn to family, turkey and memories. If you’re visiting with relatives next week, why not capture some stories? Ask Grandma to share the memories behind a favorite Thanksgiving dish or ask Dad to talk about holidays during wartime.
Bridget Poizner is a professional personal historian with a wonderful business called Save Their Story . She creates professional video biographies – usually by interviewing one family member and asking them to tell their life story.
If you’re serious about collecting family history, Bridget recommends preparing a list of open-ended interview questions ahead of time. That way, you can make the most of your conversation. Want more tips? Read more here.
Almost any holiday ritual can become rich with meaning. Just this week, a gift giver named Valerie asked us to extract voices from a short video of her father reading a Christmas story to his grandson. Valerie's Dad passed away a few months ago and she wanted a way to share this memory with others -- and to preserve her father's voice for generations to come.
We were proud to work with Valerie and are delighted to report that her father's voice will be played and preserved by one of our ivory photo frame keepsakes!
Why wait? Holidays are the perfect time to ask questions and preserve favorite memories.
