Select either the senior member of your family, or the most aged person you know (you don’t necessarily have to be related to them, but it is better if you are), and interview them extensively. The interview doesn’t have to be a formal affair, and may serve you better if it is in the form of a friendly conversation during which you take careful notes or, the best case scenario, record it for posterity. Listen to the person’s stories, noting the most significant persons or events of international, national, state, or local importance to which they have some connection, either direct or indirect. Even family legend has its place, and should not be overlooked; it can, in fact, become a great topic. Whatever your topic, it should be something that effected the person’s life; while it may not seem obvious, at first, it most certainly effects yours. Listen for something you’ll be able research, and something about which you can write an essay; we will discuss the possibilities as extensively as needed. (For further benefit, don’t ignore any bits of wisdom the interviewee has to bestow.) Once you’ve conducted your interview, search out more information that pertains to the subject upon which you will focus.

Write your essay about that event, person, etc., integrating passages from your interview into your research; the interview should act as one of your sources.
