To prevent this, your site should have a password protection. Anyone that wants to look can just enter a simple password like KING or ANCESTOR or something easy. You can even post that password on the front of your site, or if you want, have them email and ask you for the password. Dataminers do not read sentences and figure a way to open pages. They just mine off pages already open.

I think people who want to see the information posted on the site, should have to email their decendency or some proof that they're not an ID thief and honestly want to see the information on the site.
