Tuesday 27th May 2025, 7.30pm - 9.00pm (Zoom sign-in from 7.15pm)
Dorset Family History Society will be hosting an online Zoom meeting talk by MICHAEL H HALLETT entitled ‘HEROES AND GHOSTS - HOW SCANDAL AND SHAME CAN AFFECT GENEALOGICAL RESEARCH’.
Grandson of pioneering aviator Wing Commander Harold Blackburn MC AFC, Michael is a former industrial process analyst who turned to analysing human processes to resolve issues arising from the breakdown of his grandfather’s marriage in the 1930s. This led Michael to create Living With Ghosts, the world’s first online course on generational trauma, and to create family history society talks on the mechanics of shame and trauma.
Heroes & Ghosts is “a poignant, aviation-based, family history story relayed with clarity and humour.”
The story of pioneer aviator Wing Commander Harold Blackburn MC AFC comes to life after a century buried under scandal and shame.
