The grandkids won't read a chart. They'll watch a film.

Family Video turns the records on your tree into a narrated short film — real places, real dates — so a life becomes something the whole family will actually sit down and watch.

From records to reels

Built from what really happened

  • Grounded in sources

    Every scene is drawn from the sourced records already on your tree.

  • Narrated for you

    A written and spoken story ties the records together into something moving.

  • Ready in minutes

    No editing software, no timeline — describe who it's about and watch it build.
