Family Memories - Make Them, Collect Them & Share Them
Preserving your family memories is something that is always put on the back burner. You will work on it later….when the kids go to school, when the kids go to college, when I retire, when I have free time, when it’s cold outside. We always put it off to some later day….well that day very well could be today! Get your young kids, college kids, spouse or your parents involved (whether with you or far away).
Collect together all your old media that contains all your family memories. Collect your video tapes, movie films, pile up your loose photos, stacks of family photo albums, and collect all of your memory cards, flash drives, external drives, old phones.. Gather up all the old audio including (records, cassettes, reel-to-reel, microcassettes, 8-tracks and more). It’s a great time to go through the old tubs and boxes. You can get the kids involved in all the sorting. You can either bring them in to be digitized now at Leave A Legacy!
Another aspect of collecting memories is to do some interviews with your parents or grandparents. Many a person has regret of all the questions they didn’t ask a family member before they passed. I myself, wish I had gone through all the family history research my mother compiled with her before she passed. Seize the opportunity today. Ask the questions about your family history while you still have them. There are books available that will help you come up with questions to ask. Both of my parents completed such books and they contain lots of treasures. After they passed I scanned both of the books which has their hand-written responses and typed up my father’s responses since his handwriting is a challenge to decipher. Have your kids call your parents and have your parents tell them stories of their youth.
👣 Bring in your old media and we will transfer to digital!
