If you don't like to sift through a lot of nonsense emails while trying to make connections, I suggest that you try my newly overhauled website, Connect With Surnames. http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Bluffs/7708 There I list people and websites that are interested in genealogy according to the surnames that they submit. There are already over 1400 different surnames listed. Anyone can submit up to 15 surnames to be listed there. Websites can submit 25 surnames only if they provide a link back to my page using one of the 5 graphics that I provide. Some of the wonderful comments that I've received on this page are: Sharon says: I have already found some possible connections from your web page. This has been so helpful! Melody says: I think this is a great idea. I saw your original post on some of the mailing lists and have finally gotten around to submitting mine. Keep up the good work - you are very ambitious! I've also received several requests (polite requests) that the graphics on my page load quicker and perhaps be genealogy related, so I've changed the background to a simple one from Vikimouse. Although this background is one that I've seen on a couple of other sites, these new pages are more sophisticated, browser friendly, and easy on the eye. Thanks, Amy Brown

Wanted to share this with all genealogists. Please read. SHAKING YOUR FAMILY TREE: "ADVENTURES IN CYBERSPACE," by Myra Vanderpool Gormley, C.G. Would you post personal information about your family -- their birth dates and who they married and when -- on the local grocery store's bulletin board? You wouldn't? Then why would you post it on the World Wide Web? The Web is the world's bulletin board, says Carole Lane, author of ``Naked in Cyberspace: How to Find Personal Information Online'' (Pemberton Press, 1997, $29.95). Don't make it easy for thieves to steal your (or your children's) identity by posting your Social Security number, birth date, address and mother's maiden name on the Web either. Of course, you wouldn't do that. However, if you want a real shocker, take a look at the way some naïve genealogists are exposing themselves and their relatives online. Moreover, genealogists are not thinking of possible consequences when they take a GEDCOM from Cousin Linda (who got part of it from Cousin Wayne, who received some of it from Cousin Julie) and post it on their home page. Oh, it's wonderful information, right down to the grandchildren's names, their spouses, and all their birth dates and addresses. But, the fact that they are invading the privacy of their relatives evidently does not cross their minds. We do not have the right to share personal information (online or otherwise) about living family members --without their consent. This is not an exclusive Web problem. Do you copy family group sheets and send them to other cousins via snail mail, or share information on mailing lists or newsgroups about your living relatives? Living relatives -- not deceased ancestors -- are entitled to their privacy, so you should not share identifying information about the living, their spouses (and ex-spouses) or their children with others. It is all right to gather and preserve such information in your private files on your clan for future generations, but there is no valid reason to be publishing it -- in books, newsletters, or on the Web, or to be sending it to any and every cousin who asks for it and who may publish it with no concern for others' privacy rights. Recently, while gathering material for a book, I examined hundreds of genealogists' home pages, and they are a pretty sight -- for cyber thieves, that is. In our eagerness to share our family history material and utilize the power of the Internet, we have forgotten that not everyone is honest. If you're an online genealogist, keep these guidelines in mind: -- Do not post genealogical information regarding living persons with an identifier: Instead of saying that Jane Smith is your mother or grandmother, say that you are researching the Jane Smith line, and here is the information you have on her, and where you've looked: -- Do not post Social Security numbers or other identifying numbers such as a driver's license number. -- Use utility programs such as "GedClean" or "WebGED:Progenitor" to remove data about living individuals from your GEDCOM database before sending it to someone else. That way your birth date and birthplace won't wind up in someone else's database who might share it with the world. -- Ask permission before you send a GEDCOM you've received to someone else. That way the originator can keep track of who has their data.

Hi, My name is Tom Tinney, Sr., retired genealogical research specialist. My wife Chris and I have developed and voluntarily maintain a non-profit, no ads, Genealogy and Family History web site at: http://www.dcn.davis.ca.us/~vctinney/archives.htm This is a specific educational, Library and Archives Resources site that deals directly with UCDavis, Shields Library, the Sacramento Regional Community and extended University of California, [USA], systemwide Internet connections. Please review it carefully for consideration as a benefit for all university and college students, faculty and staff, alumni library researchers and general genealogy and family history library patrons, worldwide. This comprehensive training site is a learning-by-doing, self-contained and self-paced teaching instrument, using examples of a real time family organization to show how and what can be accomplished today in scholarly research in this area of the auxiliary sciences to History. Respectfully yours, Tom Tinney, Sr. Listed in: Who's Who In The West, 1998/1999 Who's Who In Genealogy and Heraldry, [both editions]
