I think I may have confused the issue somewhat by asking members to send data to me to be added to the Register of Members database which I am compiling in my capacity as Registrar. However, the main database of Sackett family material is kept by TSFA Historian Thurmon King. The best advice is to post your information on this Discussion List and then everybody gets to see it. I can pick up the data to record in the Register of Members and Thurmon can similarly use the data on his website. In any event, if I were to receive any new data I would copy it to Thurmon. And I know from his many posts that Thurmon is meticulous about sharing any new material he gets by posting to this Discussion List. Posting to the Discussion List also means that other members can update their own genealogy databases. As for the data you want kept confidential, just don't send it anywhere! While sharing information is one of the fundamental purposes of the Association, nobody is expected to reveal data that they would regard as confidential. My own policy is not to publish data on people born after 1900 unless that data is already on public record, for example in a book, or the descendants of the person concerned expressly request publication. If you have a load of material that you are still not sure what to do with please feel free to send it to me and I will help sort it out with you. We hope in the not too distant future to have an official Association website which will serve as a focal point for all Association matters, and hopefully reduce some of this confusion.
