Interviews and Family Movies

We developed these videos (and more to come) as a way to record family history and share stories about each person. We are attempting to do videos for all first cousins, so stay tuned for more!

We decided to make this video on tractors because they are such an integral part of our family history. The advent of these machines meant the work horses were obsolete and anyone who could afford a tractor could do 3-4 times the amount of work. Our Uncle Andy (Toots) was the first to buy one, and it started him on his road to prosperity. 

The video features John E's neighbor Dennis, who has a tractor collection. John D. also attended the filming. Bud recorded and commented.

1981 VanDenBerg family home movie of Mother's Day. Family sits around and shares stories. (21:10 long)
