In this project, I have to write a story about my relative and my family history story. The relative I am going to interview is my grandparents. The reason why I want to interview them is they might know many stories of our family. I may interview them this week as soon as possible. There are some questions that I want to ask the interviewee:
- How did your family come to live there?
- Were there any special items in the house that you remember?
- What is your earliest childhood memory?
- What kind of games did you play growing up?
- What was your favorite thing to do for fun (movies, beach, etc.)?
- What was school like for you as a child? What were your best and worst subjects? Where did you attend grade school? High school? College?
- What were your favorite songs and music?
- What world events had the most impact on you while you were growing up? Did any of them personally affect your family?
- How were holidays (birthdays, Christmas, etc.) celebrated in your family? Did your family have special traditions?
- How is the world today different from what it was like when you were a child?
- Is there a naming tradition in your family, such as always giving the firstborn son the name of his paternal grandfather?
- What stories have come down to you about your parents? Grandparents? More distant ancestors?
