The "digital age" opens up possibilities that never existed before.
Recently I came across a youtube video of a drone flight over the little village or Dumquin in Northern Ireland. This included multiple views of Lower Langfield church, where my great grand uncle William Buchanan married Ann Thompson on 24 March 1846, about a year before the family emigrated to Canada. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-J67ToqtnE (Lower Langfield is about 3 minutes into the video.)
This
church and surrounding farming districts are also referred to in the
song "The Hills above Drumquin"

FamilySearch Memories does not currently support videos, but links to external videos have worked.
The digital age can breathe new life into family history and make it easier to share. Maybe give it a try.
