Overall a good resource for learning how to do family history interviews. The questions section is quite comprehensive. Entertainingly so, at points. How many people would interview a family member about their beliefs about UFOs? I also felt that the questions needed refinement. Very few of them were open-ended.

And so began a multi-year endeavor for this family historian.
