Genealogy-Video

Showcasing ancestry and genealogy with video

You have the records. How do you make those genealogy and ancestry records come alive?

The answer is genealogy video. When John Giacchino came to us and asked us to help him present the results of his ancestry research, we knew what to do. His great grandparents had all come from Italy around the turn of the century and John had great documentary material going all the way back to Italy.

Mom and Dad were key - the link between their grandparents and the Italian-American grandkids.

So the genealogy video starts with Mom and Dad making home-made pasta and meat balls. Dad tells how the recipes have been handed down, but also changed. His son makes pasta, but just a little different to him (the son uses pre-packaged garlic, to Dad's horror!). Here is a little piece of John's genealogy video:



We then cut in the video interview material (formal interviews of Mom and Dad). We added close-ups of the ancestry documents (just like you might see on CNN). We used photos from the family vacation back to Italy; photos of the old towns and even shots of the ancestral family farm house. Using maps - with red circles - we showed exactly where everybody came from. John narrated the story. We put a copy of the family tree on the back of the DVD documentary box.
