I don't even have to bring it up anymore, the subject of genealogy and family history is always a topic at any family gathering I attend anymore. Last Thursday was no different, and I mentioned to my nephew's mother-in-law (also named Carol) that I had thought about interviewing my brother.
She is the guilty party person that got me into doing genealogy seriously way back in 1994, so she was all for that idea. But, how do you go about interviewing your sibling, or anyone for that matter? What questions should you ask? I happened upon 50 of them in an article by Kimberly Powell at About.com that I think might just fit the bill.
I copied the questions and sent them to my brother in an email, telling him to take his time answering them so he doesn't get overwhelmed. I did have to caution him to keep his wicked famous sense of humor in check...but other than that, he shouldn't have any problems. I told him that I was going to answer the questions too so he wouldn't feel like he was the only one laboring through 50 questions.

Now and then, I make sure I give back to those who have given so much to me. As you can see from my left side bar I have a Project Wonderful advertiser named JMK Genealogy Gifts. I have been doing some house cleaning on iPentimento this week, moving things around and trying to make it more easy to navigate. As you can see, I have added some tabs at the top, so I moved my wonderful sponsor up to the top where you can easily click on the link to Genealogy Gifts, perhaps to do a little Christmas shopping?
I just love Genealogy Gifts store at Cafe Press, and I think you will too. The three images above are just very small example of the hundreds of designs available.

Don't be alarmed! iPentimento is changing, but it will (hopefully) be for the good. Yesterday before dinner, I was talking to one of my family members, and she was talking about the name of my blog. She had a hard time remembering the name iPentimento. It got me wondering about recognizability. I had been thinking about changing the name of iPentimento to make it more obvious as to what this blog is really all about, so tonight I took the big step and changed it to iPentimento|Genealogy And More. So, what do you think?
