If you’re lucky enough to have some home movies on film passed down to you, you’re probably also wondering what to do so you can preserve them AND view those magical moments of your family waving at you from the past. In the May/June 2016 issue of Family Tree Magazine, Maureen A. Taylor explains in the article “Reeling in the Clues,” how to preserve the film and find family history nuggets once you are able to view the motion picture safely. You can purchase the magazine at familytreemagazine.com.

Once you have your home movie film or video safely digitized for you viewing pleasure you can learn how to combine it with photos, music and narration to create an Ancestor Story Video you can share with your family.

Get started by downloading the Ancestor Story Video checklist here. You can learn more with my book, Share Your Genealogy Research With Video.
