We share a computer and I would never dream of checking to see what he has on his side which is all in Portuguese but I would have no problem reading. Also, I don't think I would like it if he read mine, there is nothing to hide and I never log out of my email addresses.

The reason I am asking is that a few months back a second cousin made contact through a message I left on a forum in 2002, since then I have discovered all the information I was after. My interest been my late Grandfather's direct line and none of his brothers and sisters. Naturally I was very happy to hear from this second cousin who needed information which I happily supplied, we have not finished with linking up the family and I have more to send to her but at the moment she is away on holiday visiting her children and Grandchildren. D....gave my email address to another second cousin, ( The three of us share the same Great Grandfather ) M....who emailed me. Not sure if she did so herself or someone did it for her as she is in her eighties and the only surviving member of her immediate family. She knew my late Grandfather, I never met him as he died before I was born. It took nearly two weeks to finish the email as I had a lot of information to pass on especially family names, I decided to send a copy of the email to D...as in my previous correspondence with her I had not given so much detail. Also, I attached a copy of our Great grandfather's Death Notice and sent it to M...but not to D..knowing that she was away I was waiting for her to return home sometime in June. I received an email with a couple of lines from D's..husband saying that the death notice was not attached to her copy of the email I had sent to M...and would I send a copy to keep in the family records. I really hope I am making sense. I know very well that I did not send a copy to D... as the whole idea was to share the information in the email some of which is of a sensitive nature but relevant to our family history.

The question is am I been petty in been peeved by the idea of D's.. husband opening email from me addressed to her.

I have to run and make my Daniel's dinner to take as he works the late shift today. be back later.
