Talking Points

I just received the March 2008 issue and couldn't believe the timing of your article "Get 'Em Talking." Back in 1981, I interviewed my grandmother and great-grandparents — all have since passed away. For Christmas, I had the audio tapes converted to CDs and gave sets to my parents, brother, sister, uncle and cousins. I hadn't listened to those tapes in more than 20 years, and they brought back wonderful memories. I highly recommend everyone sit down with relatives and record an interview. It brings your ancestors to life in a way paper documents just can't.
