How much privacy can a living person really expect? I think we use privacy
and invisible as a courtesy but not as a requirement. Ancestry now have
Texas BIRTH records online. They cover 1903 to 1997! Anyone can get on
there and find out the parentage of LIVING persons, even children. I was a
little surprised by that but if it is okay to have birth info available like
that why is there such a push to keep things private? It is a funny thing,
you can't get a death certificate from LA unless the person has been dead
for 50 years but you can get birth information for TX.
I don't post my info online so I have never used the privacy or invisible
feature. If a legimate researcher requests a piece of my file I copy just
that line but I have never deleted people out of it. If the info is freely
available anyway, what is the point?
