Family Home Evening interviewHere's what you need to make a family history video

that can tape an hour of video

A willing Grandmother

A quiet place to interview

Instructions

You are now a reporter

First of all, always get the permission of the person to video tape them

At the beginning of the interview, record the date, time, location and the names of the people present

If you ask questions about old photos or heirlooms, be sure to video tape them as well

Prepare at least 10 questions in advance. Some of them should be "open-ended" questions like "Tell us about your first day at school".

Here are some sample questions you might ask. Think up more on your own.

What is your birthdate?

Where were you born?

What were you parents' names? Grandparents' names?

When were they born?

Where were they born?

What was your favorite activity as a child?

How did you meet your spouse?

If you could live your life over, what would you do differently?

Do you have a favorite family recipe to share with us?

A message from Chico Chihuahua

Kids, after making the video, look up the places where your ancestors came from on a map

Can you guess where my ancestors came from?
