In preparation for the first ever family Reunion of the Gutierrez family, we
have decided to write a book of our history. We prepared Elder Interview sheets
in English and Spanish so that the family members could interview the elders. I
am willing to share our Elder Interview sheet if any of you ar interested.There
are 10 branches of Norberto & Margarita Gutierrez from Jalostotitlan. My
cousins and I personally interveiwed the 5 children of my grandmother and
videotaped them. We used the transcript for our Chapter. Unfortunately, one of
the Tios died 3 weeks later. We also did the DNA testing and the oldest living
survivor gave a cheek swab. He, too, died last month. Our reunion is July 16
and we expect between 800 and 1,000 persons! The living history, as recorded in
Our Book, will be a keepsake for all of our descendants. I recommend that you
do your Elder interviews while you still have your familiy.
En preparacion para la primera Reunion de la Familia Gutierrez, nosotros
decidimos escribir un libro de nuestra historia. Preparamos unas hojas
titutladas "Elder Interview" para la entrevista de los mayores de la familia.
Las preguntas estan en Ingles y Espanol. Si alguien quiere copia de las
Preguntas Para Entreviste del Mayor, se la podemos enviar. Hay 10 ramas (hijos)
de Norberto y Margarita Gutierrez de Jalostotitlan. Mis primos y yo
entrevistamos personalmente a los 5 hijos de mi abuelita. Grabamos la
entrevista en video. Usamos la informacion para escribir nuestro capitulo.
Desafortunadamente uno de los Tios fallecio 3 semanas despues. Tambien hicimos
es estudio a ADN del mayor sobreviviente de la familia. El fallecio unos meses
despues. Nuestra reunion se llevara a cabo el 16 de julio y esperamos de 800 a
1000 personasy la historia viviente, aun ya escrita en Nuestro Libro, sera
nuestro tesoro y de nuestros desendientes. Recomiendo que hagan sus entrevistas
mientras tienen a sus familiares.

Linda, that's what I always do with my other great grandparents. Mentioning
names and places or events gets their memories back on track and talking about
things I like to hear from them about their childhood and families. Its kind of
hard thought because they're in their 90s and forgetting but reminding them
helps.
