Oral History:

A Precious Gift

What better gift to give to your children, grandchildren, and your posterity than a video recording of your life history. The FamilySearch Library offers free video recording of your life history. You can also bring in your family pictures or small family heirlooms and they can be integrated into the recording.

Some individuals are using the recording as part of a special birthday celebration. What a great way to share your story with family and friends.

Contact the Pocatello FamilySearch Library to arrange for a video recording session.
