While some relatives take their family history stories to their grave, others become more willing to tell stories as they age.
The reasons do not matter, but remain open to the possibility that Aunt Martha may eventually decide that the world will not end if she tells you that “family secret.”
Or course some people are not going to tell you things no matter what.
But some do become more open with age. It may be worth a try.
Join Michael at either the Allen County Public Library in Ft. Wayne, Indiana, or the Family History Library in Salt Lake City this summer!
