Respect the rights to privacy of living individuals. My best guides it to start with your grandparents.<BR/><BR/>If you wish to provide a family website for communication among living individuals, then the password access is an excellent idea.<BR/><BR/>Providing digital images of proof documents (those used to determine familial relationships) of each deceased ancestor will go far in the "let's not reinvent the wheel" game. Providing information online WITHOUT documentation will merely force you to spend more time sending said documents to those who will find your postings and wish to know more about your genealogy research.DearMYRTLEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15684472865240981715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512311610334754148.post-26803126425628810102008-07-27T08:35:00.000-06:002008-07-27T08:35:00.000-06:00I have had the same concerns that the previous com...I have had the same concerns that the previous comment mentions. I keep a family history blog to encourage my family to share stories, but I am very aware of privacy issues on the web. Therefore, I require a password to gain access to my blog. I created a simple username and password and gave it to family members. This prevents Google and other search engines from indexing my site as well. I use Apple's iWeb and MobileMe (formerly .Mac) as my blogging software and web host, because it is easy to protect with a password. I haven't looked into other blogging options. I do provide public access to my family tree, but I start the lineage with my great-grandparents, so there is no public information for current generations. I hope others post comments on this as wellRob Stanhopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02545169472935952357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512311610334754148.post-90320382372616504782008-07-16T22:18:00.000-06:002008-07-16T22:18:00.000-06:00I am interested in your opinion regarding blogging...I am interested in your opinion regarding blogging personal family histories and photos. I thought it would be an effective way to share photos, family histories, and scanned documents with family members, but I am hesistant of posting the information on the internet. Should I be hesistant? If you have time, I would appreciate your input...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
