Tech Tools To Preserve Your Family History

November 28, 2013

Your family is important to you, and it’s also important for your future family members to have a solid understanding of their heritage and background. Many families like to pass down stories to future generations in order to try and keep some traditions alive or to help their family members know exactly where they came from and who their ancestors were. If you are interested in preserving your family history, the following are three great tech tools to help you.

Tech Tools To Preserve Your Family History

1. Use Ancestry.com

ancestry app

Ancestry.com is a great tech tool to help you preserve your family history. Through the website, you can create your own virtual family tree. Based on the information you provide about yourself and your family, Ancestry.com will also search through its database in search of other family members using the site to help you connect your information in order to build a stronger family tree.

Ancestry.com can also provide you with information about your ancestors that you never knew before, such as genealogy information or even history records of certain family members. You can then pass the family tree on to other members of your family, or continue to pass it down from generation to generation in order to preserve your family history and help your future family members learn more about their background.

2. Create a private website or blog

Websites and blogs are easy and generally cheap to make, so if you truly want to preserve your family’s history, you should consider creating a private website or blog to share with only your family members.

You have the ability to add any type of information you want to your blog or website, including stories your grandparents told you, a virtual family tree, or even pictures you have of your family, both past and present. You can scan pictures into the website, upload family videos into the website or blog, and even upload copies of family-related documents, such as marriage certificates, newspaper clippings or any other family-related document you may want to share.

You can then send the blog or website out to other family members and ask them to send you any additional information they may have to add to the site. This way, your family will have an abundance of information about your family for years to come. Just be sure to pass down the login information to family members so the site can continue to be updated in the future.

3. Use the Rev Voice Recorder app

Rev Voice Recorder app

Instead of just listening to your grandparents’ stories and writing them down by memory (or retelling them by memory) use the Rev Voice Recorder app to actually record your grandparents’ stories. Let them share stories about their childhood, about their parents and about any family members they may have known.

Let them talk about where they were during certain historical events, and have them make mention if they were involved in any major events, such as a soldier/nurse in a war or a member of a specific group. By recording these stories, you’ll not only have information about your family’s history, but you’ll also have the specific stories told by someone from your family, which adds a great deal of value to that memory.

The Rev Voice Recorder app allows you to take those stories one step further. The talk to text functionality allows you to easily send your recordings off to a professional transcriptionist who will transcribe your content within 48 hours. This way, you will not only have the recording of your family member’s stories, but you’ll also have a hard copy that you can use to place into a website, scrapbook or other any other safe place. Now you can show this transcription to other family members and pass them down to future generations in order to keep your family history alive.
