Laura and friends - I have uploaded and posted my GEDCOM to RootsWeb. One of the reasons for doing that was that it gave me a way to protect living people. I get to select the year, and anyone who "seems to still be alive" after that data will show only a "Living" plus their surname - no gender or dates or places. That's a lot easier than keeping 2 GEDCOMs! Regards - Glen C.

To: aberdeen@rootsweb.com <snip> I make it a rule to try to eliminate any one born after 1910 from my gedcom at this time. I maintain two gedcoms. One that stays on my computer and does not get uploaded anywhere. One that can be uploaded. The one that can be uploaded has the missing people listed as male or female child living. If I get a death date, then I go ahead and fill in the details. I try once a year to update data for anyone born in the next year. So in 2011 I will go up to 1911 and so forth. <snip> Laura

Hi Glen, I just wondered if you realised that this list isn't private and messages/names can be searched for on Google etc - I know I wouldn't be happy posting my own full postal address online! Louise > Snail Mail: 76 Strathcona Ave, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M4J 1G8

Dear Listers: I am surprised how frequently listers are apparently not aware how to find the e-mail address of the sender of a submitted list message. Method one: Print the message, the address will appear after the name "From" in the printed copy whereas it is not displayed on the monitor copy. Method two: For those who do not wish to spend the cost of paper and ink, with the message displayed, click on "File" and from the drop down menu, click on "Properties". The senders e-mail address will be displayed in the second line of the menu displayed. Instead of entering one's snail mail address in a list posting, a private message to the individual alone should have been made, learning the address in one of the above methods.
