Family Legacy Video® offers an awesome opportunity to share your family history. Most of us have our family histories written down, but how much more special would it be to have it on video, hearing the voices and seeing your family member relay stories of their past! Steve Pender can help create those special moments for you. As Steve writes on his website, “Your life stories are your legacy."

Preserve, celebrate & share your legacy with a personal video biography.” It brings to my mind memories of my grandmother singing to me – how special it would be to have had that moment videotaped so now that she has died, I could still hear her singing to me! Now YOU can actually tape those moments and have to share with your family and friends.

I heard once that when someone dies, they take their family library with them. This is a great opportunity to have those stories, photos and memories taped to last forever. “Family Legacy Video® is a leading video biography company.

There are sample video clips on their website so you can get an idea of what can be done. Family Legacy Video® also offers a transfer service. If you have VHS, MiniDV, Standard 8mm, Hi8, Digital8, have them transferred to DVD. Visit https://www.familylegacyvideo.com/family-history-video-biography-transfers for details on pricing. I have a sack of 8mm, so I definitely need to take advantage of this service.

I love to read reviews of product before I use them. Family Legacy Video® has received great reviews as well as awards for their outstanding service. While there are many reviews, here is one that really hits home at what creating a family video can do for your family legacy, “You did a wonderful job listening to what we wanted to produce, polling us for our creative ideas, and then running with it all to create a beautiful piece we’ll be proud to share with our family and friends. Now, we have this fantastic family treasure to remember our mom/grandmother/great-grandmother. Thanks, Steve, well done.”
