Save the precious memories of your life for your children and future generations
About Us
Our Purpose
To help you preserve life stories for current and future generations. Stories connect families, help us know who we are, learn important family values, and navigate the future. Telling difficult stories can also have a healing effect.
Why Life Story Interviews
Have you ever wished you could hear a relative's voice again? The voice is intimate and preserving life stories in your voice will evoke priceless memories years from now. Record your memories now before they fade away and are lost. It can be a funny story, a life changing event or anything you want to leave for others. Do it now and it will be treasured by your family.
How Interviews Work
We collaborate with you in advance to understand your goals for the interview, then send you a sample question booklet. Interviews are conducted via Zoom or in person and recorded. Single interviews provide about 50 minutes of audio recording uploaded to the cloud for client accessibility or saved on a flash drive for you. Additional interview packages are available at volume discounts. (See "Our Services" below.)
About the Founder
I love family history and have been interested in it since I was a boy listening to my parent's stories of their childhoods. I actively began doing genealogy research over 30 years ago and have compiled my family genealogy, written the history of my ancestors coming to America and written my own memoirs.
I've helped friends and clients with their family history and after retiring from my dental practice in 2014, I began teaching a weekly family history class and learned that everyone has a story which deserves to be told and preserved for their posterity. That led me to join the Evalogue.Life Story Professionals and forming Forever Yours Life Stories.
I'm excited to help you record your life stories or research your family history and can't imagine anything more meaningful.
Sincerely,
Larry Basham, DDS
