Much of a family's history is passed down from generation to generation by word of mouth. Older family members often serve as chronicles of family experiences, sharing treasured memories of the people, the times, and the events that dot the landscape of their lives. In addition, family photographs can add to the spoken word, combining concrete visuals with the imagery of the listeners.
