Frequently Asked Questions about Loving Legacy Video Interviews

GENERAL
• Are your services limited to the Pacific Northwest or do you also travel?
Yes, our service is available nationwide. Cost is dependent on location and extent of travel but we are happy to discuss the details based on your location and specific needs.
• How is this service different from doing the same thing myself?
Very. Doing family trees, genealogy work, and grandparent interviews is great. Hiring Loving Legacy Video do it professionally is even better, as we are experienced interviewers, camera operators and editors. We ask introspective questions, and often get deeper answers as the speaker is answering as though the story has never been told.
