Privacy

Names and family relationships for individuals born after 1920 will not posted to this web site unless:

1. a record of death has been obtained for them, or
2. unless the individual has given permission for their family to be published.

1920 is, of course, an arbitrary date, as would be any such date. It was chosen because 1920 is the date of the last published and circulated microfilmed Federal Census.
