| There's nothing like a video presentation to bring a family history to life. All it really takes is patience, organization and some basic production skills. An experienced guide like Mary Lou Peterson [in] Gift of Heritage doesn't hurt either. She covers it all, from family-free research to sound effects...a successful effort. |

| I was impressed by both the quality of the video and the amount of information it provides. Although she claims to be a video novice, Mary Lou Peterson is one producer who's doing things better than some who call themselves video professionals. |
