There is an interesting blog posted for oral historians that may be of interest to a variety of family historians and genealogists, as well.
http://blog.oup.com/2010/03/false-light-lawsuit/
The blog writes of presenting information in false light that could lead to lawsuits and judgements against writers, genealogists, and Family Historians. Be sure to avoid implications of spectacular tales as you write. Although scandal within the family may be interesting, it can also be harmful so we need to use caution as we write our family histories.
And special thanks to the Oral History list-serv for bringing this blog to my attention.
