Questions to ask family members

Here are some of the questions I want to ask my family before I head back to Uni in January. I'm sure will arise during the interviews but these are just a starter.

  • Where are all partners of blood relatives originally from?
  • Has anyone moved to the area from somewhere else?
  • Where are grandparents originally from?
  • How did partners meet? Where?
  • Has anyone ever lived anywhere else? Where? When? Why?
  • Has anyone ever had a job or career outside of the area?
  • Where did family members go to school?
  • Has anyone ever wanted to live anywhere else and why?
  • If family members of the previous generation to me had gone to university, would they have been more tempted to move away?
  • Which members of the family do people see the most?
