General advice for an interview:

You're soon going to start interviewing family members about many things. Here's some advice that will help with the interviews.

· Schedule a time for the interview, even with parents.

· Before the interview, prepare the following:
1. Pen, paper, tape recorder, video camera or webcam (if you have them. This is a great opportunity to make a permanent record of their stories.)
2. The interview questionnaire
3. You may want to bring an atlas, pictures, a family heirloom, etc.)

· If you think of questions while people are talking, don't interrupt! Write the question down and come back to it.

· When you have answers to the questions on your list, write them down and/or enter them into your personal website, into the forum, or to Ilanot.
