Keeping it in the Family: Conducting Research Interviews with your own Family Members

Abstract
As a family researcher I am writing about a project which came literally close to home; one that involved interviewing members of my own family. I focus mostly on the process of interviewing them and the issues that emerged from this. I also talk briefly about using their interviews as research data and some of the disquiets this provoked for me. For, while I thought it was appropriate to interview my relatives and was convinced that they had something relevant to contribute to the project, I found that during the analysis phase I had a recurring reluctance to use their interview data. These concerns centred on whether they constituted 'real' research informants.
