"Thank
you so very much, Family Video Links. Your carefully
crafted questions that caused me to ponder and stretch,
your excellent editing of all my family ramblings
has created a DVD picture of the history of my life.
And you caused me to laugh and cry, my cheeks were
moist more than once. I will always treasure your
presentation of my family history."
Derek D., Victoria.
"Recently
I contracted with Barb and her company to help me
put a DVD presentation together for my grandson
Charlie's 4th birthday. Charlie resides in Southern
California and I wanted to be sure he did not lose
touch with who I am, where I live, and what I do
in my life here in Victoria. The results were far
better than I could have ever imagined and the DVD
touched the hearts of all my family who received
a copy of the finished project. In this day and
age, many of us are absent from close family members
and I found this medium to be such a wonderful reminder
of my love for Charlie and as well a treasured keepsake
for years to come for all my family.”

"Having
just viewed the DVD prepared for me by Barbara Strachan,
of Family Video Links, I must say that I am most
pleased. The end result has exceeded my expectations.
The professional appearance of the menu set-up,
the quality of the sound and the creativity involved
in the actual filming of my family is outstanding.
I enjoyed being involved in the process every step
along the way but also appreciated the intuitiveness,
attention to detail and genuine caring about the
finished product that Barbara demonstrated throughout.
Her ongoing concern about fulfilling my goals (to
capture my young family for posterity) in this business
venture should be a hallmark for businesswomen everywhere."

"Dear Barbara: I wanted to write and tell you
how happy our family is with the video you made
for us this past summer. We really appreciate that
you could make arrangements to come to the family
cottage and record the ‘Life and Times of
Bill Caldwell’ while you were visiting in
Ontario. We now have a permanent record of my Dad
and his family history as well as his personal history
and business and community contributions. Dad was
so worried that his memory would not allow him to
remember details, however, you were able to capture
3 hours of stories, anecdotes and family history
that we will have for generations to come. I think
we may have to do a Part 2 in the future as he tells
us he had a lot more to say! To say that this project
gave my Dad an emotional lift would be an understatement.
He was so pleased that he could recall so much and
in such detail about his past ancestors and his
years growing up and building his business. Whenever
he doubts himself, we remind him of the DVD and
all that he was able to record for our family. Thank
you so much for facilitating this piece of our family
history.”
Sincerely, Linda L., Victoria, BC
"My daughter-in-law in Pennsylvania makes a
big deal out of the DVD we made for our grandchildren.
The grandkids love it! They squeal with delight
when it is ‘Grandma/Grandpa’ time. Every
Saturday after supper, they watch us read the book
twice. Once is never enough! And they absolutely
love waving at us at the end through all the credits.
While her 5 year old sister is at school, the 2
1/2 year old sits by herself and goes through the
alphabet book naming all the letters. The DVD is
the very best present that we could have sent our
granddaughters. So thank you, Barbara, for the fun
our family is having with our DVDs.”
