Lynn Wenzel will speak about the dilemmas she encountered when writing her most recent book, Puritans, Patriots and Pioneers: An American Story. The History and Genealogy of the Shallenberger, Ziemer-Hansen, Ruff-Harding-Chamberlain and Dryer Families with information on 17 other ancestrally allied families. Lynn will read a few passages from the book, focusing on those areas where she deliberated on discretion and intentionality. This dilemma is especially concerning when long-held family mysteries are revealed—secrets of grandparents or parents, even if they are no longer living. Even if what you want to write is a fact. Lynn will discuss the ethical and loving challenges of revealing nothing, part, or all. At the conclusion of the program, she will be happy to answer questions about writing genealogical and family histories or writing in general.
