My brother lives in WVA and has been doing this for us. He uses his Apple Computer which is easier to do these things. He takes the old family films and still pictures and combines them into a DVD. He puts music with it and they are wonderful to have. He makes numerous copies so that everyone gets one. He also took interviews my aunts did with my grandfather back in the 70's - he was almost 90. He made numerous copies of those as well. I am going to scan all the pictures in my mothers photo album from 1908 - 1920's and have him make copies of those as well. It is a great way to make sure what we have gets passed on. margaret brennan >From: [email protected] >Reply-To: [email protected] >To: [email protected] >Subject: Re: [NYJEFFER] Five generations on a Videotape >Date: Sun, 21 Jan 2007 10:06:19 -0500 > >What is the name of your wonderful sounding machine and where might I find >one?

Hello, Saw your post on the NYJeffer list and was wondering if you are connected to the Brennan's in Alex Bay?
