You should choose an overall topic to go for, then the questions will come easy.

How did the great depressions affect you and your family? Did you have any family in any of the World Wars? Did you have indoor plumbing/Running water as a kid? If not, how old were you when you did have it?

100 questions geeze your drive um to the grave.
ask them things about if they worked on farms, how much things cost at the store. ask if they used everything or saved it. what kinda foods they canned, how they canned, how they learned. where the clothing came from. is there were different grades of fuel when they were younger. when they heard the 1st radio,
and lastly what they think about u asking them these questions.
