I have one rule that has really worked well for me. I only give personal information out to those that "are family." or those "I believe to be family." I never give out information about those that are still living. However my only brother sued me so many times after mother died, finding out who he is - would not be that difficult because he and his family are in her obit in Ben HIll County, GA. I am a great grandson of Charles W, RICHTER Sr. and Anne POTTER of Madison, Morgan County,GA I am a Descendant of Capt James DANIEL and Jane HICKS of Albemarle County, Virginia John R.
