For families who want to do it themselves

Learn how to ask better questions, record clean interviews, organize photographs, and turn scattered memories into a project you can actually finish.

A printable set of life story interview questions

A manageable path from idea to keepsake

Most family-history projects stall because the person trying to do them has no clear order of operations. These classes break the work into small steps: choose a scope, prepare questions, record the conversation, collect photographs, organize the material, and decide what the finished keepsake should be.

Use the free 100 life story interview questions to begin, then bring a class to your library, church, club, or family group when you want more guidance.
