If you have a video camera, try and record your grandmother talking about her childhood/family recollections. She may also remember things about your grandfather's family. Having her on tape is also a wonderful memory once she is gone...

I will never regret doing this with the only two living grandparents I had. That's one of the reasons I put all of the "teaser" questions above.

i've started taping my father and grandmothers. too bad i didn't have enough sense to tape my great-grandmother's sister (i have no idea what title of relation that is). She lived to be 107 or 108 and was SPRY until she hit about 105. My father grew up in her household so i'll have to get him on tape with his recollections of HER and that branch of the family.

this thread is great.
