Asking the right questions about your family\u2019s legacy is one of the essential ways of preserving your family\u2019s heritage. These questions evoke conversations that dig up stories, insights, memories, and traditions that may have been untold and that you are unaware of, yet they have shaped your family’s experiences in the past years.<\/p>
The truth is that every family has a story, and this story tells of the family’s history, culture, traditions, values, memories, personal experiences, and beliefs, which have been passed down through generations. The story is what is called a family legacy.<\/p>
A testament to not just where you come from but also who you are. However, as the years go by, the attributes and stories that formed the family’s legacy can be forgotten by family members.<\/p>
That is why I have created this guide to help you with 100 questions you can ask occasionally to help preserve your family’s legacy. These questions will spark meaningful conversations that will uncover essential family stories, wisdom, values, or insights and help you write a detailed family history book that will be passed down to future generations.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
When discussing family legacy, it is important to use the best approach since conversations like these are prone to evoke deep, personal, and emotional memories. The best way to ask questions like these is to be thoughtful, respectful, and strategic.<\/p>
Below are some of the best practices you can use when asking questions about family legacy:<\/p>
If you ask questions like this when family members are busy or pressured, you will not have a meaningful conversation compared to when they are relaxed and in a comfortable environment. Also, when you have found the perfect timing and setting for your interview, turn off all forms of distractions and interruptions to have their undivided attention.<\/p>
Remember that these questions can be sensitive and personal, so if the person you are interviewing does not trust you enough, you will likely not get a meaningful response.<\/p>
So, help the person you are interviewing feel safe and valued by showing genuine empathy and allowing them to express themselves without being judgmental. You can start by asking light questions, the type that would help them feel comfortable while answering, before moving to more sensitive and heavy questions.<\/p>
Avoid asking Yes\/No questions; instead, ask questions that would make the person elaborate more. Also, ask questions that are tailored to an individual and center on their experiences and emotions.<\/p>
So respect their boundaries and allow the person you are interviewing to feel very comfortable when asking questions.<\/p>
This does not only show that you understand and follow their story but also helps the person you are interviewing stay engaged and willing to share more.<\/p>
