Weekly Planner: Taking Last Month's Questions a Step Further

Last month some of us celebrated Family History Month by taking the time to answer five questions posed each week in this weekly planner. Let's take it a step further and survey other family members as well. They could even be collected into a pamphlet to share at holiday get-togethers. (Yes, the holidays are almost here!)

Also, think about deceased family members. Do you know how they might have answered some of the questions? Did your grandparents love to dance? Mine met at a dance contest. Where was your grandmother's favorite vacation place? I remember my grandma telling me over and over about her trip to Alaska and how it was her favorite trip. What did their home look like? Where did they gather and what did they do there? What stories from their youth did they share with you? Put their "answers" down along with the rest of the family and let your whole family get reacquainted this holiday season.

For more interview questions, check out this list from the Ancestry Learning Center.

If you missed the five question challenge, you can still find them at 24/7 Family History Circle:
