Passing on Family History in a Digital Age
Manage episode 422417958 series 3578776
In today's digital age, there's no reason not to share your family stories with the next generations coming up. We've got Facebook where we can connect with loved ones, even distant relatives we haven't met yet, there's digital family tree sites that let you instantly connect with census records and other existing family trees (as well as your DNA) to learn more about your roots and - finally - we've got QR codes we can put to good use to digitally share the story with all of those who are curious to learn. In this video, I'll tell you why I got interested in my own family's genealogy as of late, plus share about some digital tools you might find helpful - especially one that I think everyone should use on their family gravesites, future obituaries and more: Forevory. You can check out the Forevory memorial page I made for my own granddad easily and quickly here: https://forevorylive.page.link/GTdFzR1R6YwNkiUS6?profileId=148 - complete with photos, video, a guestbook area, his story and more. It even has a place where you can record audio notes about him! It's a great tool to keep in mind for family reunions, funerals or just storytelling with the kids in your family so they can see why they have so much to be proud of.
