Dear Lynda and All, Again, privacy takes to the forefront. I have been checking my files and I can't locate any persons of 100 years of age or older that are still with us. And I have death dates for most of them. The Gedcom I submit will not have families born across the 1890-1910 time period. Persons seeking relationships after 1890-1900 will have to contact me, which will put things on the same exchange basis as I have now. The interesting thing to me about the privacy issue is thus. Much of what I have discovered in the present time has been taken from phone books. Only twice in making phone calls across the continent have I been received cautiously but in both cases got the name of the person's grandfather without any other pertinent information. Other information I have about them was available through public sources. And I have yet to phone those folks back. Much of what we do as genealogists is derived from public records and noone has been "bugged" to supply personal information. Most of us get bothered more by phone solictors from charities and service providers. In the past, those of whom I requested information by mail that didn't wish to have me know about them, didn't return the packages. That left public sources as the only information available. Perhaps their children or grandchildren will wish to help in future years and the only sorrow of that is that we lose the "living record"; the personal contacts and memories. Please let me know if there is anyone out there who wishs that their relatives born more than 100 years ago "need" to be exempted. HOpe to hear from you soon. Bob
