Family Gathering

Oral history is more than a history, it really is an identity. Family Gathering's Grant Nielsen talks with Family Search's Oral History Program Manager Brent Hansen and Oral History Project Coordinator Pamela Hirwa about how important family histories in determining their lineage. Oral histories are so important because they describe the people and their way of life. It's how people would identify where they came from and would earn them respect as members of the community. KSL NewsRadio's Family Gathering connects people and families across many generations.
