telling the truth
As my father has passed away I have the unpleasant task of dealing with his estate. Dealing with what he left behind. On many levels!
I take on this onerous task as both a daughter and a historian. My partner and I have found a number of objects which we will use as the sign posts of a journey to uncover the truth. There have been so many lies in my family. I feel now this has to stop. Personal history is no different than local or national or, indeed world histroy. It has to have the bedrock of truth.
These objects include a deed to a pub in Northumberland, a certificate of ownership of a grave, a victorian birth certificate and a set of navy records. Far from sailing of on the seven seas never to be seen again, my great grandfather only lived five doors away from the family! I am now searching for the truth. The lies stop here
