Elder Questionnaire
They say our history is passed down orally yet we look to every source besides our own living history books. The Elder Questionnaire is a powerful tool designed to help you collect and preserve invaluable stories, wisdom, and historical details from the elders in your family. Unlike records or DNA tests, elders hold firsthand knowledge—memories of ancestors, cultural traditions, migrations, and untold stories that may not exist anywhere else. This guided questionnaire ensures that no essential details are lost, helping you document names, places, experiences, and insights that bring your family history to life.
Whether you’re just starting your genealogy journey or deepening your research, the Elder Questionnaire is an essential tool to help you uncover, document, and honor your ancestral history.
