[Genealib] Genealogy and privacy

[Grimshaw, Kathy]

As an information professional who is constantly on the Internet, I'm a
little confused by the the comments from people saying that there is no
personal privacy anymore. Except for information voluntarily posted
about yourself, the only information available online about you is the
information that has always been available in print form, such as phone
listings, property owner information and newspaper articles. I challenge
anyone using free sources available to the general public on the
Internet to find out my social security number, mother's maiden name, or
where I was born.
