Greetings from Streator, Illinois I did not find you family in the 1902-1903 Streator City Directory. Sorry. The local historical society has a couple of earlier directories. Streatorland Historical Society 306 South Vermillion Street Streator, Illinois 61364 We charge only for copies, no charge for look ups, but would appreciate a donation. Do you know where the children were baptized/christened? Many of the churches from the turn of the century are still in existence. But there have been a few fires, and lost records over the years. Did the family come over with another family?

I am trying to find out what happened to the Jeffrey Donohue family that once lived in Ottawa, IL. I know that Jeffrey moved out here to Galena, IL and lived her for the past 43 years. He died at the age of 85 on October 29, 1949.. He was born August 27, 1864. The 1880 census shows that he was 16 then. Both his parents were born in Ireland. In his Obit. it states that his parents were Jeffrey and Johanna Malowy Donohue. In the 1880 census, it shows that the current wife was Catherine. I don't know what her maiden name is, nor do I have any idea as to what Happened to Johanna. I am trying to find out it she died, or if they were divorced. Also, it shows that there were these following family members: Jeffrey Donohue, self Catherine Donohue, wife Timothy Donohue, son Jeffrey Donohue, son Kate Donohue, daughter William Donohue, son John Donohue, son Agnes Donohue, son Mark Donohue, son. According to my grandmother's bible, it states that Jeffrey changed his name from O'Donohue to Donohue. Mark's parents are listed as father being born in Ireland, mother in Illinois. All the rest, states that both parents were born in Ireland. In the social security index, I found a Mark O'Donohue, which happens to have the same birth year as this Mark listed above. I need to know what happened to the rest of them and any information that can be provided will be greatly appreciated. Even knowing if they died there or were they are buried. Marriages, anything. Thanks. Denise Wolter

The website mentioned by [email protected] is worth a look. I asked my question earlier because of something I have noticed on this site recently. I do not think it is appropriate to ask a member of this web site whom you know resides in a town you are researching, if they will give you the e-mail address, phone number or residential address of someone with a surname you might be researching in that town. It would be more appropriate to ask that individual to contact the person in question to see if they want to be involved in your research. Additionally, the person you are seeking to contact may take offense to their information being dispersed on this website. Thanks for listening

The thing to do with living relations on the internet is identify them as only 'living'. Do not give their full birthdates or full names and esp. not with the parent's names. For example Samuel Smith's and Linda Anderson-Smith's son would appear as living Smith, born 1950. This is ok as long as Samuel and Linda are dead. I would have information removed if it gives your full name, dob, place of birth and Mother's maiden name. Then if it also gives the date/place of death and burial of one of your parent's, then a savvy thief could obtain more information from the cemetery and from newspaper archives about other any survivors who are mentioned in the newspaper. (thus giving names and sometimes locations of where you live). I'm not saying that people search the internet for vague identities to steal. What happens is, someone who knows you, will search the internet for information about you. That is the scenario you want to avoid. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Al Askevold" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, May 11, 2003 10:53 AM Subject: Re: [ILLASALLE] Privacy issues on the Internet > Hello LaSalle, > > I have been watching this talk, some interesting points brought up.

Hello LaSalle, I have been watching this talk, some interesting points brought up. A cousin just updated his online database. My mothers surname is in this database. I do not send this out ever, but I am sure he has this entered from the gedcom I sent. We both use the same genealogy program so I think he just added info I sent in the gedcom to his and updated his database. My question is- should I have this surname removed? It would be no problem but it is a hard one I need to research and this online database of my cousin might help in this. Al

Hello Again Everybody, Apparently the topic I brought up has led us into a debate on personal security rather than ³family genealogy². My emphasis may have led to a discussion not related to genealogy, but my point about personal privacy is very much a family history issue. We should not be posting information about living persons on genealogy mailing lists. Others have written extensively on this subject. For Cyndi Howell¹s links to these issues please go to the following site within her guidelines on ³Internet Stuff You Need to Know²: http://www.cyndislist.com/internet.htm#Privacy Now I¹m going to get off this soapbox and wish you all a good day! Lynn

Lynn, thanks for that. I've read many of the articles on this page, previously. It's too bad many of the links are now dead. But of the ones working, I strongly urge people to read (especially links at the bottom of the page on how to respect the info on the living). Genealogy is a great thing and I urge all to become informed and practice safe research. While I understand being brief on the subject of family security on a genealogy list - really, being a responsible genealogical researcher is important to all researchers!!!! If people don't start practicing safe research, it won't be long before the government shuts down your information highways due to complaints from living persons having their information out there . ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, May 11, 2003 9:24 AM Subject: [ILLASALLE] Privacy issues on the Internet > Hello Again Everybody, > > Apparently the topic I brought up has led us into a debate on personal > security rather than ³family genealogy².

Greetings, I am a treasurer of a local union. Every month we receive a check from the company for union dues they have withheld from 200-300 employees' checks. Along with that check, we get a copy of names and SSN's of all employees that worked the previous month. Of course, that information is destroyed. Do you shop at Kroger's or Eagle's for groceries? Use their card for discounts? Then, wonder why the coupons they send you seem to match your spending habits? I don't know if it still exists, but there was a web site that monitored the flow of currency. People were putting in the serial numbers of bill, and the location where the bills were spent. When you read "1984" and wonder how the people let it happen. BUT, go back to the neighborhoods of 50-70 years ago. There was no privacy back then either. The "grandma's" knew everything that when on in their neighborhood. My Dad had a garage at home. One weekday, he was dressed in a suit. My Mom got two phone calls, the ladies wanted to know if one of his brothers had passed away. (We were going to a wedding.)

Greetings from Streator, When I started posting to this site, I generally did searches for 1920 or before. Then the 1920 and 1930 Census was put on line; the State of Illinois put a list of death certificates up to 1950; the "white pages" or a Google search will give you current information; hospitals started putting new births with names AND pictures on line; the Streator newspaper has obituaries from 1999 on line in 1993, the Streator newspaper published almost 60 pages of local family trees. Currently, if names and dates have been published in a family tree book, I will pass that information along. If the author has included his name, and that name can be found in the "white pages", I will also list that information and cite him as the source. Or, if the author has included a flyer with the book that gives his address, I will post that also. I know the first time I went to look up a will, I thought that I would have to have information showing relationship. All the lady wanted was the number from the index, and to let me know that I had better not jam the copy machine.

All of you can put your phone number in Google and your name and address will come up. Then you can get a map. You can also click on the telephone and have your number removed. There is no privacy anymore. I can put my name in and see where I have posted to some of the boards. Our county is posting court information with SSN, that includes building permits and deeds. You have to go to the courthouse in person to have that removed. Leslie

What is the web policy on mentioning living individuals when someone is doing a search? Char

I've was a security consultant for over thirty years and would like to tell you that it is you who are wrong. A true identity theft cannot be done without your social security number. If you will read my original message I advised against using your mother's maiden name as a key to your identity. Tell the bank (and others) anything else they don't care. If you want to protect your privacy by not posting your information that's fine. The idea that people have had their identity stolen through postings on genealogical sites is an "urban legend". I think you will find anyone this has happened to it was through their own misuse of their various identity cards. ---- Original Message ----- From: "Gen" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, May 10, 2003 9:45 PM Subject: Re: [ILLASALLE] Privacy on the Internet > Sorry, but you are wrong.

If you want privacy for the sake of privacy this is good advice but be aware of one thing - it will NOT protect you from identity theft. It just isn't done that way. True identity theft requires access to your Social Security number. Protect that by not giving it to anyone not absolutely requiring it. Do not put it on your checks or drivers licence. Credit card numbers can give someone access to those accounts. More identity theft is accompished by going through someones trash than perhaps anything else. Shred all bills, bank statements, etc before throwing them out. If you are concerned that someone will get into your bank account by learning your mother's maiden name give the bank a false name. Whatever you do don't think you are getting some sort security by keeping your information off genelogical sites. ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Tuohy" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, May 10, 2003 7:35 PM Subject: [ILLASALLE] Privacy on the Internet > Dear List Members, > > More and more postings to this list are referring to people who are still > living.

Sorry, but you are wrong. Access to any information concerning living persons can lead to identity theft. It isn't just a soc. sec. #. Besides, a soc. sec. # can be obtained with basic information that gen sites publish regularly such as Mother's maiden name and birthdate. It is becoming so prevalent that those who don't follow basic protective rules such as not giving out basic information to people on the phone, on the internet or in public, are just tempting the odds. Be safe, protect your hard earned credit history and identity! Don't take chances.
