Oral Histories - Dear Grandma

 Oral Histories

Questions you wished you had asked your Grandma

 Dear Grandma

When were you born and where?

It is important not to leave it too late to gather together your family history.

Get started with a few simple questions or a few family snapshots. You know it makes sense.

Order the book "Dear Dad - From you to me" from Amazon 

Record your conversations using the Memo app on your mobile phone.
 If you can't find the app use Google to get instructions.
There are also other recorder apps in the app store.

Click this link to download an example list of questions to get you started.
