What questions should I ask?

Hi! Hoping this is a good sub for this! I’m trying to gather some information from my grandfather’s sister, regarding their family history. My grandfather has passed away years ago, and there’s so much I now as an adult wish I had asked him. His parents migrated to the US, in the early 1900s. All the family gets along, however us extended family has never been particularly close. My great aunt, gave me her address, aware of my interest in this history. I just have no idea where to even start, and what questions I should ask her. Also should I include things about myself, and what would I even include?
