This is something I’ve always wanted to do since I’ve started genealogy research for my family.

When I was way younger I had 2 great grandmothers I didn’t know what a great grandmother was until I was older to me they were just my grannies. I lost one of them years ago and there isn’t a lot about her out there. Someone I knew in my lifetime and I’ve had to dig deep to find records about her.

I’ve still got family left who know a lot about my family history and I’d like to interview them before I don’t have a chance anymore has anyone done this themselves?

Yeah, I recorded some interviews with a few of my family members for a school project. Later I put it all together as a book of family history. It's was super cool to put together all the stories that we knew bits and pieces of and many that we didn't even know about. It's can be really rewarding.
