Once upon a time, families kept a sense of their history through passing on their lives to the younger generation by word of mouth. That kind of transmission (传递) is beautiful in its way, but it can be unreliable.

Today it doesn’t have to be that way. We have so many means of recording lives: photographs, videos and audio tapes.

Google “family history” and you’ll see that millions of people all over the world are posting their work on the Internet. In 100 years, our great-grandchildren will be able to learn about the lives of past generation by going online.

A British woman has had the idea of starting a company offering to make films for families of a professional standard. Former BBC documentary-maker Karen Walsh got the idea for her company, Geneus films, after she made a film about her own family history.

Speaking to the UK newspaper The Daily Telegraph she said of filming her relatives: “I could record them in their own words. I made a full-blown (全面的) documentary, just like those I make for the BBC and saw that other families might like the same sort of record.”

The Daily Telegraph talked to one of Karen’s happy customers, Sydie Bones, a 75-year-old woman from England. She planned something special for her son’s 50th birthday, something a bit more meaningful than a birthday cake and photo album. She wanted a film to show just how close her family is, what great laughers and talkers its members are.
