Honestly, I couldn’t imagine doing somehting like this. I mean I think it’s great, but I just think it would probably blow up in my face.

The questions I used were ones that I asked my own parents in a taped interview. My only problem was that in interviewing them both, they disagreed on almost everything, and almost got in an argument! NOT the result I was looking for.

This is a thought provoking post. Getting to know your family while (or subject) while discovering it’s history will put a more personal spin on your project. I think we can get too wrapped up with the forms and statistics and we lose site of what we are really doing. Why not ask yourself the same questions as well, and put them away somewhere safe. One day, when you are gone, your son, daughter or even grandkids may find this paper. Such a thing, written by your own grandmother or great grandfather would be a treasure. Sounds pretty neat to me!

Well, genealogical interview? This is more like reflecting what have we done in the past ;p
