Do your grandmother and grandfather -- mother and father -- aunts and uncles -- tell stories about the "good old days?"

Have you wanted to write down those stories to preserve them for generations to come but don't how to go about it?

Guess what? You don't need "literary talent," special training or special equipment. All you need to preserve those stories is a list of people to interview, a willingness to listen, a set of questions to ask, a tape recorder, and a copy of Preserve Your Family History (A Step-by-Step Guide for Writing Oral Histories).

Preserve Your Family History provides instructions and tips based on the author's nine years of experience as a newspaper reporter in interviewing people and writing their stories. The book also includes more than 400 questions on 30 different subjects to help you conduct your interviews.
