Do One Thing – Ask the Family!

Take half an hour a week to talk to one of your grandparents, aunts or uncles. Go gently! Take notes and record the date your conversation took place. Ask open questions, for example:

  • Tell me about your school-days.

  • What did your father do for a living – how did he start out?

  • Where did you live when you were a child – what was the house like?

  • Did your grandfather have brothers and sisters – what were their names and birthdays?

  • Did your parents have any hobbies – what did they do when they were not working?

  • What stories did your grandmother tell you?
