Family Interviews

Holidays create the perfect opportunity to interview family members that you may not see at other times of the year. Take advantage of family visits to initiate conversations that yield family history information. Ask family memories about past holidays, traditional meals, funny stories, milestone events, etc! Don't forget about photos. Bring a family album and ask about stories and memories connected to treasured family photos. You will be surprised how family members, even siblings, can have different memories. Together, they create a bigger picture!
