There has been a good deal of discussion about the security implications of including information on living individuals on genealogical websites. Potential concerns are twofold. Firstly, there are simple issues of privacy associated with birthdates, adoption, etc. Secondly, there is risk that published information may assist in identity theft.

We believe that living individuals have a right to privacy. Accordingly this website does not contain any details, such as birthdates, of individuals believed to be living. Names of living individuals are shown as "Living".

Family members may request a Login ID and a Password which will enable them to see the names of living individuals within the tree. Please contact us.

Specifically, individuals born after 1893 are regarded as potentially living, unless it is known they are deceased. Marriages after 1913 have also been concealed.

If you notice any personal information on this site regarding living individuals, please contact us and we will remove it.

Alternatively, if you are able to clarify that an individual listed as "Living" (say, a child of a named individual) is actually deceased, please also let us know.



Rest assured that under no circumstances would we ever pass on any email addresses or other personal details to third parties.
