Please delete the 3rd and 4th generations from the list of Christian ancestors I just sent. I did not intend to include these two generations as many are living people, and I don't post their data. I apologize for my mistake. Deborah __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Make international calls for as low as $.04/minute with Yahoo!

Social Security number of passed loved ones are very important to make sure they are the right person and this is no problem. They some would go for names in a phone book, on a headstone etc. Now for living people this is very important to never give it out and don't every put it on your checks, etc. For your medical records make sure that you have all your family SS # both current & pass as they are using them to track medical history for cancer etc. Don

Social Security numbers can be found online for the deceased so I see no value in trying to protect them. Anyone can find numbers for your loved ones in just a few minutes if they wish. Stan Bruner Texas

Shirley, It is very unfortunate that you have suffered at the hands of unscrupulous individuals who would cheat you and turn your world upside down. However, Wayne's message posted earlier this morning describes the facts very well. I would add that you are more likely to be attacked if you leave your purse unattended in your shopping cart (my mother-in-law stepped away only 3 steps when her bag was grabbed from the cart), or in a book bag at a table in a genealogy reference library (one of my close friends was the victim a while back of such a purse thief; an individual who looked very rough -- and little like a genealogist -- who was "hanging out" in the genealogy room waiting for anyone to become so involved in their project that they forgot about their personal possessions). Information from living people is where the value can be found. Our deceased ancestors offer nothing to anyone not interested in our bloodlines. Most of us have had some similar experience or been close to someone who has been cheated, but we cannot stick our heads in the sand and say keep all our data private. We might as well become hermits. My two cents, for what they are worth. Diane

I am posting Itawamba related photos, including the ones I tried to email this list at Ancestry.com's Itawamba Message Board. I would encourage everyone to use this great feature.
