So you interviewed your relative twenty years ago when you first started genealogy. Have you thought about interviewing them again?
Maybe they remember something now they didn’t remember before or are willing to discuss something they didn’t want to discuss twenty years ago. You may have discovered new information you want to mention to them or ask them about. Relatives who “were the reason they kept quiet about certain things” may not longer be living and the reason to be quiet may be gone.
It is worth a shot.
