The internet is a facinating new world for genealogy!
Could we be putting our families at risk without even
realizing it?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We are all working hard, gathering information
for our family trees!
Lets work equally hard to protect our living family members!
When you share your research, either by private email,
genealogy mailing lists or building your own website, pleasedo
not
include personal
information on living persons, without their permission! You have no way
of knowing where this information could eventually end up or how it could
be used. Protect your family from identity theft, credit card fraud,
just to name a few. Use programs like GEDPrivy
, GEDClean32 and
GEDLiving
to help you "Protect the Living" as you share your research.
Pass it on!
