== | ==Introduction== | ||
Family history interviews are a good way to capture | |||
memories before they are lost. They help you verify and | |||
preserve names and dates—the sort of information | |||
you would typically record on a family group sheet or | |||
pedigree chart. These interviews are also one of the | |||
best ways to preserve a wealth of stories, testimonies, | |||
thoughts, and feelings. | |||
The process of doing a family history interview is really | |||
very simple and you will learn it best by practicing. | |||
Most people feel very comfortable with it after only | |||
one or two interviews. | |||
This lesson will help you gain enough confidence | |||
to conduct your first interview. The information is | |||
general, and you should adapt it to your individual | |||
circumstances. | |||
