Questions to ask your uncle
An uncle is often the family's plain-spoken historian: the one who tells the story with the parts left in. He watched your parent grow up and he remembers the family the way it actually was.
Sit him down before those stories go with him. Record it, and a whole side of who you are stays alive.

Why record my uncle specifically?+
Uncles often tell the family history with the honest parts intact, and they knew your parent as a kid. That perspective disappears when they do.
What if he is not the sentimental type?+
Keep it as storytelling, not a heart-to-heart. Ask about the old days and the family, and the meaningful answers come on their own.
Where does the recording live?+
