I agree with comment made by "Old Max".

You need to get their stories written down or recorded for history - even if it is just for the family. My younger sister made it a personal project a few years ago to "interview" my mother and all our living aunts and uncles. She wanted to get something on tape so her kids would have a sense of their family history. She has a journalism degree and is well trained on how to interview a person. She gave me a copy of the DVD she made and I learned more in a few hours about my family then I'd known in almost 40 years of living in it.

To much gets lost or forgotten or just isn't talked about otherwise. My mother was shocked to find out that my dad (died 22 years ago) had two younger brothers that she never knew about, their deaths were something no one in the family wanted to talk about. She learned many details about his family's flight from Poland before and during WW2 that most in the family had never discussed with anyone.
