: Re: Writing about a real place I am writing about a real place and the real history of a family. However, there are some things I want to include that aren't the truth. Is this legal to do?

Typically, you would change all the names and present it as fiction (perhaps as "inspired by a true story"). This is called a roman Ã clef and it's a widely used technique to allow poetic license with the truth while avoiding legal trouble.

Even with this approach, however, people have still been sued, so you might want to use caution.
