To my family, friends and New Cousins, There seems to be so much worry lately about Identity Thefts and since my Mother's Maiden Name is very much public knowledge because of my Genealogy research -- I took the plunge and called my credit card bank and asked them if I could change what they asked for verification instead of my Mother's Maiden name. They said, "Of Course!" -- and gave me the option of what question I would like for them to ask instead. I picked one, and now I know that if someone wants to steal my identity -- that is, at least, one way they will not be able to do it. If you did not know you could do this, you may want to consider doing the same!
