FAMILY INTERVIEWS
- What are some of your favorite memories from your childhood?
- What were your parents like? (This is a great question, especially if these individuals have already passed away.)
- Do you recall any memorable family vacations?
- How did you and Grandpa (or Grandma, or Dad, etc.) meet? Further questions may be helpful as they may trigger great stories, such as do you recall a best date or what movies did you go see or what kind of car did Grandpa drive?
- Did you have any family pets that you recall?
- Where did you live throughout your childhood?
- Do you still keep in touch with any of your friends? If so, who and why?
- Did you live through any big historical event(s)? If so, what do you recall from those days?
- Name ancestors as far as you can go back (include maiden names) Preferably 4 generations. Input the information on your pedigree chart.
- What was school like when you were my age?
Consider videotaping or recording your family interviews.
