Ethics

Genealogists debate:

~ whether you should disclose all your findings or just let sleeping dogs lie

~ how to decide what to include

~ what you should reveal and what should stay in the closet

~ How would Grandpa feel about this?

We now talk more openly about some topics that were formerly taboo. How would you the deal with serious crimes, mental illness, and suicide? What about the relatives whose birth dates are not on their tombstones because they always lied about their ages?

Robin will explore various family situations and help you assess how to handle them.  Participants in the discussion group will share ideas and learn from one another during this interactive program.
