CLICK for a podcast interview with  Daniel Rg Crandall sharing the value of grandfathers and why your family story is valuable.

We love to listen to the tales of our grandparents and great grandparents, the struggles they faced inspire us. The pains they felt encourages and strengthens us for days ahead. Remember the hard times when they stuck together—or fell apart—but in the end survived to overcome and raise a family.

Stories help us come together with compassion and understanding, forgiveness and love.

Hearing the story in the words of a great grandmother is precious. And though we love the stories when we first hear them, sometimes the voice, the timeline, the details, and the stories themselves get lost.

We love to listen, to interview, to research, and to carefully recreate the timeline in a family history. The final result is a time capsule of your history with restored and recovered photos and memories that you can revisit and share for many generations with an archival publication.

Each family history we capture and recreate is completely unique. A caring interviewer will sit with your family members, sometimes for an entire day or two, and listen to stories, ask questions, and gain a fresh perspective while recording the entire process. The notes and images we scan become the first draft of a story. Your family gets to review the draft and then the exciting process of researching, developing the story, and adding a timeline begins. Add your version, memories, or additional details, along with enlightening opinions, and perspectives into the tale. Provide supporting images and valued memories.

Finally the stories and images are lovingly crafted into a professionally printed book with high quality archival paper and print. Choose a cloth cover with gold leaf, or a printed photo image to introduce this unique and custom family history to the world.
