Gretta's Mom
GBCapture your loved ones' voices for future generations! I commissioned Tales interviews with 4 members of our older generation - my Mother, Aunts and an Uncle. Each person decided how many interviews they would be comfortable doing. They ranged from 1 interview to 5 interviews. Each person had a positive experience with the interview. The interviews have been shared broadly to our family of cousins, nieces and nephews. I have to say they have been terrific, and I highly recommend commissioning interviews with anyone over 60 now rather than later when health issues may become an issue. I wish I had found Tales before my father passed away 2 years ago. I learned so much that I did not know from each person interviewed. Some was personal history and some was local history of the town that I grew up in that I did not know. All of the interviews were done well. I recommend having good internet connection for the Zoom interviews for the best sound quality. If your family members think they do not have anything that people want to hear, come up with some questions for them so they know their stories are valued. I highly recommend taking the leap to get the interview process started. My husband loved the idea so much he has gifted the Life Story - 5 interviews to his father. He only wishes he had known about Tales before his mother passed away 2 years ago.

GBThis is a treasure that will be… This is a treasure that will be cherished for years to come! The interviewer did a great job making my grandfather feel comfortable during his interview. It is great to hear his memories in his own voice. Thank you!

GBThe idea of Tales.com is wonderful.ful The idea of Tales.com is wonderful. To have this opportunity to share my memories with my family meant so much to me. Spencer and Lisa are great facilitaters in the Tales process. Lisa was my interviewer. She was pleasant, professional in her interviewing, never rushing me through questions, always patient and friendly. My husband, also a participant in a Tales interview, and I are very glad we had the opportunity to share our memories for our children and grandchildren. Thank you, Carol F.

GBTales.com was a great experience I thought this process was well put together! This is my feedback: there were moments in that interview that sparked my grandma to pull from her memories, that I don't think are written anywhere. She told me she's written down most of her history growing up, but those memories are invaluable to me and my family! It was the questions that were asked that sparked that, and those are the parts that were so amazing to hear! I think when gathering the questions, the process was perfect. There were great examples that sparked catered question for us to ask her directly. Wonderful job.

GBTreasured history Tales staff, from the very beginning, was friendly, supportive, and attentive. My sister had a great experience telling her story, and the production of it exceeded expectations. Now we have a treasured piece of family history to be enjoyed for years to come. Thank you, Tales, for a job well done!
