Old family films

These movies were shot by my Uncle Bill using a 16mm cine camera, later they were transferred to VHS video tape and when I inherited the videos I converted them to digital format and they are now uploaded to my YouTube account. The films are all short and silent and capture moments from my family and my childhood starting in the early 1960s and lasting through until the early 1980s.
