Thanks for the list of questions. They will work even if the person whose story you want to write has died. These questions when asked to living family members will bring out a myriad of memories that would have otherwise remained untapped My grandmother was brought here from Russia by my grandfather's mother to marry her son. A man my grandmother did not know and had never met. Her life over a one hundred and four year span was more than interesting. I have been thinking about how to begin and these questions helped.
