Uh oh....that "stays in Vegas" thing was literal!:)
I so wish I had a video camera whem my son was young....*sigh*
My father did ours a long time ago, and just gave them to a guy to do. They are in no order at all, but they span probably 15 years or more. My wife was a bit more meticulous in doing it herself. And I believe that she got all the little reels spliced onto one big reel in the process to make it easier next time.
The problem with my old home movies is that I need to get someone to record a narration. I'm the youngest in the family and for some of the older reels I haven't a clue what I'm watching or even where it is.
