Hear What They Heard

Hearing ancestors’ voices helps us bond with them in a special way. When you hear a story from their point of view, you can better connect with them.

Ask a parent or grandparent to tell stories about his or her life, or a family member. You could ask questions like these:

What is a memorable moment from your childhood?
What do you remember about where you grew up?
How did you meet your spouse?
What are some moments that impacted your life the most?
What is one funny story from your life?

Listen to old recordings of your family members’ stories and see what you can learn from them.
Listen to music or watch movies from when your ancestors were alive.
Use the FamilySearch Memories App to record a story from a family member’s life so it won’t be lost.
