The free family guide

Questions to record with your parents before it's too late

22 specific questions that get the real stories out, and the simple way to capture them this week, in their own voice.

Most people never record their parents because they sit down, press record, and go blank. This printable guide hands you the exact questions, grouped by the parts of a life worth keeping, so you never have to wonder what to ask next.

Where they came from
The world before you knew them.
Love and the family they built
How you all came to be.
What they lived through
The history only they can tell.
What they believe
The values a lifetime taught them.
For you, and the ones after you
What they most want passed down.
The gentle ones, when you're ready
Offered softly, never pushed.

Why record instead of just remembering

We keep photographs of the people we love, but almost never their voice, and the voice is the thing we miss most. A short recording of your mother telling the story of how she met your father, or your father explaining the meaning of your name, becomes irreplaceable the moment it can no longer be made.

You do not need equipment or a plan. A phone against a stack of books, one question at a time, ten minutes at a sitting. The guide walks you through it. When you are ready to keep those recordings somewhere they will actually reach the people they are for, that is what Shtello Legacy is for.
