This is part of the e-mail I received from them when I registered. I never got an e-mail back to tell me my password, so I still cannot get into the site. Here is what they told me about the "Emergency E-mail addy" YOUR EMAIL ADDRESSES When you registered we invited you to enter a second email address (Emergency Contact Email) that we can use when the first one stops working. It doesn't need to be your own address - it could be that of a friend or relative - but ideally it should be through a different email provider. We will only use the 'emergency' address if emails we send to your primary address are returned to us - and we won't reveal any personal information, other than the fact that you're a LostCousins member. Although you may have no intention of changing your address, experience has shown that addresses often change - either because of a change of ISP, or because of some other change of circumstances (change of job, marriage etc). Hotmail addresses seem to have a particularly short life - because these email accounts are closed if you don't use them every month. It's a terrible shame when we find a 'lost cousin', but can't tell the member concerned because his or her email address isn't working. So if you haven't already entered an email address that we can use in emergencies we'd suggest you do so when you change your password (see below).

Well, now I feel kinda silly. Have it drummed into me by hubbie and son constantly about being careful online. I would hate to miss out if someone finally showed up out of the blue and that's what we are always hoping for, right?
