"Genealogy" as it is practiced by many on the Internet is indeed a danger to privacy. Responsible genealogists do not put information on living people on the web. I have a cutoff date of 1900 and don't release information on people born after that date. I have even seen social security numbers of living people on home pages, pictures of their grandchildren and so forth, which is certainly invading the privacy and perhaps even safety of those little ones. The congressman from Indiana, probably no genealogist himself, has heard about this kind of irresponsible data-spreading and is justifiably concerned. JHall
