So yesterday my 90 year old grandmother came for vacation. Already and she has been a great help in my quest for un-answered questions. I plan on recording / interviewing her as much as possible.

Y no solo en es una mina de oro en información, estoy seguro que
también es una buena oportunidad para tener una relación interpersonal
muy agradable que no muchas personas tienen la fortuna de
experimentar. Si trae consigo fotografías de familiares se
complementa. Te recomiendo que aproveches preguntar por los primos de
ella y otros parientes. Es posible que si ella no te da esa
información sea muy difícil para ti encontrarla por vía documental,
personalmente me gusta preguntar sobre el estilo de vida de los
parientes. Tal ves puedas acompañarla de regreso para que examines
fotografías y alimentes la relación.

be careful when interviewing to not fluster her with direct questions.
Rather than ask “What year did your grandfather die?” Ask “Were you
married at the time your grandfather died?” or “How old were you when
your grandfather died?” or “Was Rosalie born by then when your
grandfather died?”

Answers to those questions will give the same answer since they can be
calculated and then later you can ask the direct question. The last
thing you want to do is “shut down” a conversation with too many direct
questions. In fact some of the best information I have received is from
just letting my older relatives tell me family stories. If the
conversation strays you can always gently swing it back on topic. You’ll
find that suddenly someone that couldn’t remember things remembers sooo
much detail about the family.

Have fun I only could wish I had my grandmother to listen to.

I loved your suggestion and will make it a point to use them in my own research
when asking questions with my family members.

I tried “interviewing” my Dad alone and he said he could not remember but when I
called a family meeting with his sister and brothers they remembered by sharing
a story then someone else would add what they suddenly remembered. I did tape
the conversation which lasted 3 hours. Since their gr-grandmother Nicolasa
Reveles (Mama Nico) lived to be 112 they had much to share.

I too have been receiving duplicate and triplicate messages, not just from Nuestros Ranchos, but from Ancestry.com

Yeah, I don’t know what is going on with the triplicate messages. Sorry guys.

My grandmother really really likes to talk . She won’t mind direct questions , I ask them all the time. She can go on and on for hours.
