Heroes & Ghosts is the story of my grandfather Harold Blackburn, a pioneer aviator before World War I and war hero. After the war, scandal struck the family and plunged it into shame for three generations. Along the way, his story was lost, his memorabilia buried for decades.
This 1-hour presentation brings the story of his amazing career to light through the recognition of unconscious shame affecting multiple generations.
Researching such events requires a softer approach than conventional, data-driven genealogy. While telling this story I share tips and techniques for researching challenging past events.
