How does one mention ones family tree publicly without endangering them and oneself of Mothers Maiden Name Theft? I suppose we must not mention who our parents or kids are on web pages, as all it would take is right two pages to revival the precious Mothers Maiden Name.

For the few lame institutions that still ask that question (and city of birth) I always provide the same bogus answer. That way nobody can figure it out even if they know the actual information about my history. I felt pretty paranoid 10 years ago when I started doing but now it seems strange not to do it. The onus should be on the institution and not the customer. -Doc On Wed, 24 Dec 2003 01:31:58 +0800, Dan Jacobson <[email protected]> appears to have written: >How does one mention ones family tree publicly without endangering >them and oneself of Mothers Maiden Name Theft? > >I suppose we must not mention who our parents or kids are on >web pages, as all it would take is right two pages to revival the >precious Mothers Maiden Name.
