Jim, I can understand how someone would want their medical records private , I know I do. But I can't see how releasing medical information for someone who has been long gone can effect someones privacy as far as name, children, what ailments they had, where they lived as long as they had been gone for some time. Maybe I am not understanding what all that e-mail meant, I just thought it might interest someone on the list. Janet

A similar bill was defeted in Virginia by an overwhelming majority through the efforts of genealogists,societies,and the modern miracle of e-mail to their Congress persons.
