This was a fantastic video tutorial :-) Thanks for making it. I'm sharing it with my family.

I don't have a ton of recipes passed down but my german, irish and english roots show with my love of wheat bread, potatoes, a meat and some greens or stew, pot pie and dumpling type of stuff in the meal plans. A little southern us in there but with a healthier twist too. Great questions.

Vhs tapes not hard finding on eBay and Amazon the truth is more hard finding

People like myself gets vhs tapes off eBay for 10 dollars nothing else put down every detail on 10 dollars vhs Cinderella new vhs eBay how hard is that on your phone now days

Vhs tapes last longer than your computer does and your thinking does

Nice demo. ClearClick is argueably the easiest way to digitize. I use a difference capture hardware method, though, and enhance them later on with software.

You didn't discuss the resulting quality settings, the file format, nor the setting of any metadata?

Vhs tapes more free whiching in your house y do all that for Disney plus i got rid of it was making me more lazy not getting up and down more yet my vhs tapes keeps me moving more than Disney plus didn't give me i got rid of it people are buying VCR players cleaning tapes vhs movies everything else off eBay and Amazon now days

Very helpful video and great explanation. Thank you!

Thank you so much, this is very helpful! 😊

Very useful information, thank you. I am about to start digitising literally thousands of images. I do want to publish some of them. Thinking of getting the Plustek OpticFilm 8200i SE for slides and film, and the Epson FastFoto FF-680W for photos. Your thoughts, please?

About a week after turning 17, Rose was taken to the hospital. She’d contracted a bacterial infection and had an enlarged spleen. She went home with her dad but was hospitalized again soon after. She was at Loretta Hospital for 12 days before her condition worsened with the onset of fluid in her lungs. The next day, Rose died on November 6, 1942 at 3:20pm. Her family was shocked and devastated. When I first started researching our family history, I was very surprised to find my grand-aunt Rose on the 1930 census listed with my grandpa and the rest of the family. A sister was news to me! His brothers I knew, they’d been involved in my life since I was a child, but no one had ever mentioned a sister nor had I seen any photos of her. What happened to her? It didn’t take long to figure out, though there have never been many more details other than what was listed on her death certificate and a handful more records documenting her life. Then last year, I received a scanned album of Rose’s younger brother Sam’s photos. There she was, Rosie, their beloved younger sister come to life in photographs and the opportunity to experience her life in a way I wasn’t able to before. I was astounded to learn that Uncle Sam had kept so many wonderful photos over the years and that his admirable wife lovingly created such a precious family heirloom we could all share. It was the first time I’d ever seen so many of my family members’ faces before. It was amazing. Fondly referred to as Rose, Rosie & Rosebud, Rosalia Marie Conti was born October 4, 1925 in Chicago. She was named after her father’s mother, who passed four years before her namesake in 1938. Rosie was buried November 10, 1942 next to her mother, Dorothy, who died just two years before. Rose was a cherished daughter, sister, granddaughter. She was a student. She never got to graduate high school, never had the chance to grow up. Her life was short yet her memory lives on in our family’s legacy 🌹 Have you ever discovered an unknown sibling of a grandparent? 🔍

Photoscan app for the win. Iphone 16 pro max with that app is the best!!

Whats the best way to store loose photos

Very poweful introduction

3min in, I have to disagree. Some people want to digitize old photos and improve them on the fly. You can buy scanners that convert bw to color as part of the scan.

Great video. One piece of advice, try to put in a blank spot before speaking. I had to keep dragging the video to 0 second.

PPI, I think you mean DPI? Correct?

Entire world a cemetery, duh. Millenia of humanity

Using 3200 dpi, I have to wonder what are you using as a storage source?

This is so amazing! Nico I love seeing how you are preserving our family history for the generations after us to enjoy! You are wonderful!

Nicole, this is amazing!!! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!! Preserving our family history is priceless!! I’m so thrilled and can hardly wait to watch all you have put together!!! You’re the BEST!!!

Thanks

Such a precious and beautiful tribute to an amazing woman!! A wonderful and creative video!!! Love and miss Nonni so much!!!

These are the only two photos I have of my great-great-great-grandpa, who passed away on this day in 1921 at the age of 79. He was born February 27, 1841 and grew up in a large family, the third child of 16, on a farm in Van Buren, Tennessee. He was a farmer his whole life. His first wife died at the age of 38, when he was 43. They had 8 children together. He soon married his second wife, my 3x great-grandma, and they had 6 children together. He was 54 when their last child was born. The following year, their lives were changed forever. I realized that I hadn’t done much research on the children he had with his first wife, the half siblings of my 3x great-grandpa, and as I began to build out that part of the tree, I immediately stumbled upon a disturbing discovery: that two of his sons had been murdered, and that after, he and his wife never recovered. I haven’t sought out further details yet, but from what I read it must have all been very traumatic. The details were so disturbing, that I needed to take a break. I have yet to revisit that story and search the newspapers for a better understanding of what happened. Genealogy includes all kind of research, and it can be difficult for many reasons. Discovering something horrific in your family history can be shocking and painful to read about, despite being distanced by generations. At the end of the day it’s not all fun and games, but it’s important work nonetheless 🙌

Thank you for doing this video! I am 30 and have been interested in Genealogy for several years. I tasked myself with going through my grandparents pictures (My Dad's parents). I sorted through over 50 albums, boxes under the beds and closets and drawers full. This also included all of my great grandparents photos and even the ones that my 2nd great grandparents had. I sorted photos for my Aunts, Uncles, and cousins, but I am still left with the duplicates of those that I gave away, as well as the older family photos on both sides of the families. A lot of the older photos are unidentified and sadly there is really no one else to ask. I have scanned a lot of photos and I am in the process of organizing them further to curate my collection. I redid a Scrapbook that my grandmother had made for my Mom (A newer album using photo corners). I plan to do a similar album for my Dad and then more heritage style albums. My overall goal is to one day do a book for family members with the pictures and stories of our family. Thank you again for this video. I know that I will have to edit my collection a little more!!!

Wish i could read the names. That big,ass,SUBSCRIBE blocks all names out. On the comments page, it's dark and small antiquated writing.

Surprised? For those who aren’t accustomed to this type of living arrangement, many are! Studies have shown that multigenerational homes offer many benefits to family members, including enhanced longevity and quality of life for all. Children in multigenerational households tend to develop higher levels of cognition and receive stronger social and mental support from their families, resulting in better mental health overall. “As role models for their grandchildren, the grandparents can share invaluable life experiences and impart life skills and knowledge, allowing the young ones to develop a broader perspective of life.” “Multigenerational living also strengthens family values, preserves cultural traditions and provides stability.” Thanks to census research, I’ve found many cases of multigenerational living in my family tree, especially in Chicago! How about you? 🎧: Matthew & Camila McConaughey in an interview for Southern Living

Do you save the backside of the photo as another layer to the TIFF file?

I have always loved hearing this story! Grams was always so feisty, and this story was a perfect example. Thick and thin these two were inseparable. Love like that is so precious❤️

Oh my heart!! The sweetest love story!! So beautiful as they both were!! They loved fiercely and all us children!! Miss them so much!! Beautiful video Nicole!!❤

Well, for him anyway 🤣 The night my grandparents met, my grandpa chased my grandma around the party trying to get her to agree to marry him 💍 He was in the Navy stationed in San Diego and she was in town from Salt Lake City visiting the fiancé of one of his Navy buddies. She was 23 and from England while he was a 19 year old from the South born in Alabama. The way they would tell the story, gave me Noah & Allie vibes 😍 Papa said at one point during this party they were standing in the kitchen, she was eating a carrot, rolling her eyes at him and trying to shake him off while he told her he was going to marry her 🥕 I used to love hearing them tell that story, it never got old 🤍 Do you have any love at first sight stories in your family history?

Wonderful introduction for the newcomer like me! Thank you!

Love this!! Such a beautiful story and pictures!!❤

Excellent video!

What a beautiful couple and story! Ain't love grand?❤

I remember being shocked when I first heard this story, because I couldn’t believe my grandpa sent my grandma’s engagement ring in the mail 🤯 If that’s not trust in the mailing system of 1956, I don’t know what is 🤣 And of course, LOVE ❤️ all reasons why this was always one of my favorite stories to hear my Nonni tell. I never got to meet my grandpa, he passed in 1984, and so any stories shared about him are dear to me. I loved the way a smile would creep up her face as she told it, until she was grinning and chuckling about having received the ring in the mail and slipping it on her hand just about a week after that phone call. He was in California at the time, where they would eventually move, and she was back in Chicago, where they were married four months later 👰🏻 Do you know how your grandparents got engaged?

You’re awesome!!! Great find!!!! So intriguing and so excited to see what else you find!!

ADOPTED 🤯🤯🤯 And with that one sentence, I began to see all the ways in which this would make sense and explain my longest standing brick wall: my great-grandpa’s birth and Sicilian heritage. This has also been one of our biggest unsolved mysteries, because for years no one I asked knew why my great-grandpa Salvatore aka Sam consistently used the last name Salvepro/Salvefio for a short period of his life. When he immigrated from Sicily with his family, the passenger list shows the last name given for him, Salvepro, was crossed out and Conti written over it. Equally puzzling at the time was that his sister, also on the passenger list traveling with the family, used a different last name too (Castillo). Their brother Lorenzo used the family name, Conti. I haven’t been able to find a birth certificate for my great-grandpa or his sister yet, and this could very well be why. Is it possible they were both adopted? I’ve got my work cut out for me here 🧐 I’m also not sure where the piece about a country doctor fits just yet, because on every record I’ve found for Carmelo Conti, my great-grandpa’s father, Carmelo’s occupation was described as “villico”, essentially a poor farmer. Though it’s said that the local church burned down, even if the parish records aren’t available, I’ve had luck in the past searching civil records. Since many of these digitized records aren’t indexed, I’ve gone through them one by one and noticed “atti di nascita” (birth records) where a child was noted as being born illegitimately. Now I’m wondering if such a record exists for my great-grandpa, maybe even with the last name Salvepro/Salvefio? I’m so grateful for family members who are willing and even enthusiastic about sharing family history with me ❤️ my Aunt Connie, who shared this oh so valuable information with me, has really helped further my research in more ways than one! Now it’s time to continue planning my ancestral trip to Sicily 🗺️🤩 Have you discovered any adoptions in your family history research?

I have a photo of my grandparents on their wedding day. He was a WWII hero and stormed Normandy Beach. My Grannie and Pawpaw had 10 chidren together. How can i find you to help me with this beautiful picture of them as kids on their wedding day? In plain clothes as it was around 1920.

A tragic beginning and a beautiful ending to our family legacy!!! Thank you for preserving our many generations of family stories and genealogy!!

Here’s what I’ve pieced together about their love story so far: During my great-grandpa Salvatore’s 40’s, he experienced some heartbreaking events that altered the course of his life: - at 43, his mother died - at 45, his wife died - at 47, his only daughter died (whom he was living with at the time) - at 48, his sister died By 1948, at the age of 53, he decided to return to Italy for two months. Rather than returning to where he had been born in Sicily, he chose instead to go to Naples, where he would meet and find love once again with his second wife, Lucia. After his two months in Naples was up, he returned to Chicago, having decided he would go back to Naples the same time next year. That following year, his brother Lorenzo went with him, and they planned to stay for 6 months this time. One month after their arrival in Italy, Lorenzo married Magdalena La Paglia in October 1948. The brothers returned to Chicago a month later. For nearly three years, Salvatore traveled by ship from New York to Naples, until finally he went back to marry Lucia in Italy. They had a son together (making him the oldest to have a child in our family tree at 58 years old), who was born in 1952 in Naples, before the three of them made the journey by boat to New York and finally settling in Chicago in 1954. Their son was just 1 at the time. This is a photo taken of them at their home in Chicago, the only photo I have of them together and also the only I’ve seen of her, with Salvatore (Sam) about to feed Lucia. They look to be out on the back porch of the apartment building they lived in, which amazingly, is just blocks from one of the places I called home in Chicago for a time. And so once again, I find that I was walking in his very footsteps on a daily basis without having known it ❤️ This has been one of my favorite photo restorations done on MyHeritage, their faces are so much clearer!

Hahaha!! This is great!!! And so true!!!!

I love this Nicole!! Fantastic job in all your hard work to preserve and do all our genealogy of our family for so many generations past!! It’s a beautiful thing to see our older family members when they were young, working hard and building their families!! Which leaves us here in this time!! Thank you!!

The addictive nature of genealogy can come as a surprise when starting out! Seekers, what else would you add?

I love sharing the people & places from my family tree, their memories & pictures, their feelings & moments, and smiles & laughter ❤️ Each one of my ancestors in this reel experienced their own struggles and triumphs, and each of their legacies are interwoven with my existence today ✨ When I first started researching my family’s history, most of the research I was doing focused on finding vital records (birth, marriage, death) before moving on to see how far back in time I could trace that particular line 🔎 But over the years, I’ve changed that focus to be more on filling as many blanks and telling each of their stories as uniquely as they were as possible. This approach has given me an even better understanding and appreciation of who they were as individuals. Do you collect old family photos?

I love this so much!! Such a great history of time and great people!! They certainly left their legacy!!

3200 dpi is huge!

My family❤ Love you cousin

Oh Chicago ❤ Let’s take a moment to acknowledge that your environment can affect your genetics. That’s right, your environment CAN have an impact on whatever is coded into your genes. In this case, though the science is still evolving, Ancestry estimates that playing an instrument is at least 4% genetic and at most 96% environmental. According to Ancestry’s recent DNA traits analysis, I am *not* as likely to play a musical instrument, which they attribute to my dad’s DNA. This made me laugh out loud because my dad’s dad was a musician and in the music industry his whole life, all four of his brothers were also lifelong musicians and their dad was a lifelong musician as well. Not to mention the fantastic photos of my Nonni (my dad’s mom) playing the accordion at the end 😍 which I had no idea she knew how to play! Their love of music has continued down through the generations. I’ll never forget my grandpa’s trumpet, which was passed down to my dad. It’s a core childhood memory: the wooden smell of the box that encased it, the soft feel of the red velvet it rested on inside, the way the cool metal felt against my lips and how it left a slightly metallic taste on them after I attempted to play it 😅 it was a physical connection to my grandpa that I wasn’t able to have with him in person because he passed away before I was born, and this trumpet of his was something he had held and played, something that brought him joy, and that meant a great deal to me even as a little one ❤️ Though trumpet was never my strong suit, I did learn to play piano when I was 7 and I enjoy playing other instruments as well, as do other members of our family. So apparently we’ve been swimming against the current for generations 😅 Do musicians run in your family?
