I have been slowly going though the online index of books available to prepare for my trip. I am so excited to get there.

I also started searching as a result of my Dad and I realize how fortunate I was that he was able to pass on his knowledge of the family history to me. There are still many questions I wish I'd asked and this is a great reminder to ask questions while we can. Good luck!Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13983843990930490265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5451612116467624048.post-57935665647667340572015-03-22T09:19:08.089-05:002015-03-22T09:19:08.089-05:00I thought I had asked Dad almost every question po...I thought I had asked Dad almost every question possible, but when caring for him with Alzheimer's, I kept thinking of so many more..alas it was too late, as his memory was failing and he was far too confused, frustrated or simply too tired to be bothered. <br /><br />His stock answer was 'it's nothing to do with you'. He often became irritated or aggressive, not so much with my questions, but with his inability to understand. <br /><br />Contact your relatives as soon as you can, in any way that you can. Perhaps call them if you can't visit, tell tgem you are posting some questions, then follow up with another call and ask for their thoughts, stories,rather than answers. That way, it will be more relaxed. Good luck..<br /> Crissoulihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10148084999701286044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5451612116467624048.post-81511908804627875712015-03-22T01:18:24.951-05:002015-03-22T01:18:24.951-05:00Good Luck with your project!
I live so far away ...Good Luck with your project! <br /><br />I live so far away from my family and was always afraid of calling at the wrong time, that I sent emails with about 12 broad questions. And followed up with more depending on the answers - if I got answers. Some gave me beautiful long responses. Others were most upset at being asked to remember what they didn't want to remember (which seemed to be their whole childhood). I wish you better luck!Jo Hennhttp://jahcmft.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5451612116467624048.post-15350323290834419062015-03-21T09:17:33.592-05:002015-03-21T09:17:33.592-05:00Janice, Good luck with your quest.

I wish I had asked more questions about my ancestors while my older relatives were alive too.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06472717674114249067noreply@blogger.com
