that little dash,” said Philippe Erwin, President of MyFamilyStory.<\/p>\n

“This is just the beginning. We have a full platform of other things coming to help families honor their heritage.” MyFamilyStory.com offers a free image preview before any payment is required. The finished video is $4.99, with no subscription or ongoing commitment.<\/p>\n

They’re tributes to the people who came before us.”<\/p>\n
