Family Generations – How long is a generation?
How long is a generation? Mark discusses this and the relevancy of a single person in relation to the number of ancestors in their family. It’s very interesting to look at these numbers. Going only 10 generations back can include thousands of people in that one family. How long is a generation? About 25 years.
Convert To Digital
Mark talks about the importance of converting your photos, film, and other documents to digital format. Pictures can be scanned. Old movies and film can be converted to digital. And any important document can be scanned and converted to digital format. Converting to digital format will preserve your photos, film and documents forever.
Convert Home Movies to Digital Format
Mark explains and shows an example of a home movie converted to digital format. The movie contains a sound track added to the originally silent film. Many people appear in old home movies that are known to only a few of the older folks in our families. If left unidentified those people, and places and the times, will be left unknown. So there is urgency in identifying the contents and information in those old home movies. This is another piece of preserving your family history. It’s information that will be extremely valuable to your descendants.
How Pixels Work
In this short video Mark explains how pixels work. Pixels are “picture elements” that make up a digital picture.
