Any easy way to save grandparents’ life stories?

submitted 1 day ago by JonesQuincie to Movies

Hello. I’ve been meaning to collect my grandparents’ stories before some of those memories get forgotten, but sitting down for a long interview never really works. Is there an app or service that can guide them with simple questions and let them answer at their own pace? Ideally, I’d like to include photos and eventually make a book from it.

Hello. I’d look into MemoWrite. I’ve been using it for a while and like that the prompts make it easier to get grandparents talking without turning it into a formal interview. You can collect their answers and photos and eventually turn the stories into a book. There’s also a Reddit review https://www.reddit.com/r/Ancestry/s/6PRuzrPtln discussing MemoWrite in this exact context, so you can read more about someone’s experience there.
