PRIVACY ISSUES | |
|
Although we live in this marvelous 'Age of Information' and in many ways benefit by it, there are some dangerous not-so-marvelous Age of Information byproducts, that seriously compromise our right to privacy. I'm aware there is considerable debate both for & against publishing (on the Internet or otherwise) personal information regarding living relatives yet consider this; how is your lineage enhanced by revealing details about your living relatives? An interesting and worthy published genealogy need not contain one byte of living relative's information but can be chock-full of intrigue, oral histories, anecdotes, Great Gramma's diary, political history, pictures, maps, infamous ancestors, the family's black sheep, etc. regarding ancestors that have passed on without loosing it's informative or entertaining value. Following are a few excellent sources concerning privacy issues so you may be aware of the dire potential of freely sharing personal information. Once informed, you might decide to take whatever steps you deem necessary to jealously guard and perhaps prevent further loss to your right to privacy as well as your relatives' rights. If you agree that your living relatives have a right to privacy, please use my logo that represents this philosophy and help get the word out to others. | |

Search engines are plentiful on the web but if you've never tried a META search, now is a good time to start. They combine the results of your keyword(s) search from several major search engines without any noticeable lag time in comparison to single search engine queries. Pretty nifty. Highway 61 does a great job injected with a wee bit o' humor. Highway 61Highway 61 is a metasearch engine that will submit your search to Yahoo, Lycos, Infoseek, Excite, etc., and then list the results on a single page.SavvySearchTry a boolean search for Irish genealogy on ProFusionSearch for Irish Canadian genealogy on MetaCrawlerGo to Limerick genealogy on
