Tom Toohey: “Saving the Stories”
Tom Toohey is a modern day Irish storyteller who has traveled to Ireland 20 times and collected hundreds of stories. Every week more facts become available on the internet about our ancestors. These facts are like the skeletons of our predecessors. Family stories about these antecedents can add flesh to their bones and give life to their existence. In many families only one or two remember these stories. When they pass away the stories are lost.
This presentation offers a method for collecting and recording family stories for future generations. It has music, animation and humor and is entertaining as well as informative.
