Oh yes! My parents had so many 8mm/super8 of our family. They put it all on VHS in the 80s and we recently have them all on DVD now. Many Christmas, vacation, wedding, holidays. What great memories. smile

Way back in the mid 60s, a great Uncle from Detroit came to visit. He told my mom/dad that he had an old 8mm movie with a short clip from my mom/dad's engagement party which was in 1940. He spliced (?) the portion and gave it to my parents. It's now on DVD with my families movies. Not very good quality, kind of scratchy/jumpy frown BUT I see my grandfathers (whom I never knew)grandmothers, aunts, uncles, and my parents at 16 & 19. If only they had talkies back then.
