At Homestead Media, we know that the best way to start recording and sharing your family stories is one at a time. We also know that there are techniques and tools that will make the process more manageable. That's why we create multimedia recipes that walk you through the process of documenting and sharing your family stories.

We call them recipes because like cooking, once you get started you'll be able to improvise and create your own unique concoctions of images, words and music that will result in a rich legacy of documented family history for your children, your grandchildren and generations to come.

The surprising result of storytelling is that it can deepen your family relationships by nurturing empathy for one another, as well as helping you reflect on your shared history.
