Write down the interview questions you want to ask your grandparents. Cover their childhood, their wedding and raising your parents, etc. Then create some questions that are relevant for today: What are their retirement plans? What career advice would they give? What advice would they give a young person today?

Here are a few questions to get them started on an interview with them:

1. When and where were you born? Did you have a nickname?
2. When and where were your parents and brothers and sisters born?
3. What are the names of your parents and brothers and sisters?
4. What kinds of things did your family do together when you were young?
5. Who were some of your friends? What did you do with your friends?
6. What schools did you attend? What were your favorite subjects? Who were your favorite teachers?
7. How did you meet Grandfather / Grandmother?
8. What was parenting your children like?

Interview your grandparents and record the interview. You can choose to only record the audio or make a video.

Listen to the interview several times. Decide what you are going to include and how you are going to organize the information. Make a basic outline. Include interesting comments they made and the stories they told. Use their information well to make their biography a good read.

Start writing the story, following your outline. Include an introduction, a well-developed body (the middle part) and a brief conclusion. You could also include a family tree, family recipes, traditions, etc. to make the book more interesting.

Finalize the draft on the computer. Here are many free templates to choose from. Insert pictures of grandparents and any other family pictures you have. Tada!!! You are done. Get this book published (or printed and bound). These will make great gifts and keepsakes for the entire family.
