Elder interview questions
Hello everyone , I have returned to the site after many years of not being active here but researching in many corners of Mexico and the United States over almost 10 years . Many relatives have passed away since , many stories unsaid and lots of history lost among a new generation who doesn’t know who we are or where we come from. With the active scene of COVID -19 hitting the world and everyone staying in doors or away in general from public we seem to have time and space on our hands . With it I find myself doubling my research when I have the time . Recently we lost an elder relative at age 91 from COVID and unfortunately as she developed dementia a few years ago much of the family didn’t care to listen to her stories or history she had accumulated in her years on earth taken for granted . It had me thinking of an interview sheet for elder relatives in Spanish and English I seen here in 2011 . It says through the site no longer available but if anyone could send me a copy I would appreciate it though Email Lorenzocarrillo94@yahoo.com
I have a few living elders I’d like to interview while they’re still healthy and alive and can remember any help is seriously appreciated . Thank you . Hope you all stay safe and healthy . God bless you and your families.
Regards ,
Lorenzo Carrillo
