Hi Brad and list: I did not use myself as the anchor in my tree at GR. Genes should state when completing "forms" upon registering that the info you supply will be used in your tree! I don't agree with including the living in trees for publication either or with genealogy companies who blatantly include information about the living other than in a census, etc. About email addresses, one would hope that email addresses listed for genealogy matters are checked at least once a week. This is a big problem if someone reads an old query posted. Something to consider prior to listing an email address for response purposes. Regards, Eve ----- However: GR require that you appear in the tree as the "anchor". ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Frequently one needs to be logged into the ISP itself in order to download mail from their servers so it becomes impossible to check a previous address. It's easy enough to set up an address with Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, or Mail2World (to name but four), all of which are free. Neither Hotmail nor Mail2World can be used with an email client now but Gmail definitely can. I don't know about Yahoo. -- Charani (UK)
