I've began a blog about my missing grandmother(Missing since the 70's) but I'm unsure on the legalities of using real names and details.
I want to find her or find out what has happened to her and I think using the correct details of the time surrounding her disappearance may trigger memories or allow other people to help in the search.
At the very least I want to use my grandmothers married surname as well as her maiden name, though I think with very little sleuthing the names of my grandfather, aunts and uncles would be easily found even with just using her maiden name - it's quite unusual!
Do I use the correct details for everyone involved? (I'm pretty sure this will be a no)
Do I use real first names and not mention their last names?
Do I use fake first names and still keep the real last names?
Or use fake first names and give a fake surname?
This isn't going to be a blog to throw around baseless accusations, it really is to find the truth.
