This applies to all boards here.

I have typed this because I have read several posts by people having regretted posting personal information once they realised that all posts here can be seen in the public domain.

Some sites have a board for sensitive information that would be closed from public viewing.

Researching:
Sadd - Suffolk, Newton - Buckinghamshire, McCusker - Galway and Fermanagh, Brooks - London, and many others

So true and well worth posting that fact.

Researching:
Suzy (8.4.2013) and Sally (16.8.2011) Gone but not forgotten. Researching Carter, Cass, Walker in England and Caven, McKill, Sutherland and Will in Scotland. PLEASE DO NOT: send me information concerning your thread on the board as it should be posted on your request where all members can see it.. PLEASE DO NOT: ask me for help with lookups as they should be placed on the boards to get the best possible result. PLEASE DO NOT: open your tree just because I have posted information on your thread as I will not be related. Thank you.

Yes it's true...........but there are people on here who castigate those of us point this out when people post info which is likely to be considered an invasion of privacy, etc...........
