Interviewing your relatives is a great way to trace your family history.Here are a few tips to prepare for a family interview:

1. Prepare a list of questions that you want to ask. If you know what you want to get out of the interview ahead of time, everything will run much smoother. Make sure you write down all the questions you want to ask before you go. It’s important however to be flexible and let your relative lead the conversation where he or she wants it to go. When they are able to spontaneously remember different family members’ stories, you will learn a lot more.

2. Grab the video or audio recorder. Taking some sort of recording device will allow you to relax and keep better track of the conversations that take place. It’s always a good idea to ask if recording your interviewee is okay. Video recording is much better, and if they will agree to it I recommend using a video first. A video gives you more emotion and can create a better story behind their recollections. You also have a valuable lasting record of the interview that can be seen and understood by generations to come.

3. Use visual aids to help them recall events. Photos and other pieces of information can sometimes help a person jog their memory of a particular story or event. These can also help the rhythm of a conversation flow smoothly. I also recommend making copies of your family heirlooms so you can keep the originals in a safe place.

4. Be respectful to the person you interview If your relative isn’t forthcoming about certain pieces of information or you sense that he or she is becoming tired or losing enthusiasm, don’t push for more, however interested you are. Maybe they just aren’t ready to discuss the past, or they cannot recall that particular moment. If you notice this happening, just ask for an interview on another date or ask a different family member.Causing an ill feeling is not the point to this project.

5. Be grateful.-5. Make sure you show gratitude. Be courteous and thank them for having you. If they enjoy your discoveries, let them know you will keep them informed of your family history research. A great way to keep relatives up to date is to create your family tree online and allow your family members access to your family tree. My recommendation is to set up a free account on Mundia.com. The reason this resource is so useful is that you can invite your family members to collaborate on your family tree and add additional family information that they might remember. They can also upload photos, add documents, or even give a little input to help further some of the stories.

If you ever thought that history was a boring subject then tracing your family history will quickly change your mind!
