Any information marked private doesn't show up on the reports. I am very careful about that.Brenda Leyndykehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08530495186632931677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-767071377527744755.post-14990150315959829072011-01-28T08:55:25.975-05:002011-01-28T08:55:25.975-05:00This is an interesting idea that most of us neglec...This is an interesting idea that most of us neglect while being so busy collecting data on past ancestors. I suspect there's at least a little bit of reluctance to record details of the living for privacy reasons, or at least I always get a little inner twinge when I consider the possibility it might get inadvertently published and cause a privacy concern. I may not go as whole-hog as you, but I'll certainly be adding more information about me to my database.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15407854481964964535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-767071377527744755.post-34460431157209900662011-01-24T13:28:26.003-05:002011-01-24T13:28:26.003-05:00Kristin, you are on your way to becoming someone&#...Kristin, you are on your way to becoming someone's favorite ancestor.

It's in binders mostly and I need to scan it in and fill in the blanks. I like the idea of listing houses and households with photos.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06413795611563683135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-767071377527744755.post-8055950632857408212011-01-19T08:40:20.316-05:002011-01-19T08:40:20.316-05:00I, too, find the dead more interesting!
