21 Family History Questions To Ask Your Grandparents

Last month was a difficult time for the family following the passing away of my grandpa David. Grandpa was a wonderful man and I recently wrote an article called 5 things my grandpa taught me.

21 Family History Questions To Ask Your Grandparents

As you may know I am a big fan of researching family history and learning about my ancestors and the past. While grandpa was around, I often asked him questions to learn more about his life and am grateful for the moments and answers he shared with me.

I’m going to have to write more in my personal journal about my memories and the things he told me before I forget everything. I think preserving memories of our ancestors is so so important.

Family tree is a hobby I love and with that said I am sharing a list of 21 Questions to ask your grandparents. I’ve also created a free downloadable printable which you can print off and take to your grandparents on your next visit.

I hope you find this useful.
