As you get ready to spend the holidays with family, start thinking of questions you want to ask the older members and do it! (The 20 Questions is a great place to start.)
Anytime the generations can get together and visit is a great time to ask those questions that can lead you to the path of discovering your family history. Make sure you write down (or record on your new smart phone - Merry Christmas!) everything that is said -- all the stories and memories, so that those can be incorporated into your family heritage. The newest Family Tree Maker software actually has a place to upload video and recordings so that you can transcribe it into a story for your book.
