Privacy Policy

There has been a huge amount of press in recent times on the subject of identity fraud. Indeed, I myself have fallen victim to this 21st century crime! It is more important than ever to ensure that our identities are not made public when it's not necessary. To this end, we have carefully structured this website to ensure that any "personal data" for potentially living persons is not made public unless at least two of the following criteria are met:

The person has provided his or her written consent which we hold;
We have a confirmed date of death and living relatives have no known reason to object;
The individual was born at least 100 years ago;
We have not been advised by any source, that this data should not be in the public domain.

("Personal data" does not include full name, including maiden name, where appropriate)

In addition, the following applies:

Any person wishing to view personal data as described above, may apply for "membership" by completing an account request form. Completion of this form does not guarantee access and where access is permitted, restrictions will apply dependant upon the circumstances. Members with full access rights can make suggestions regarding individuals or families from within the site. Guest accounts have read-only access. Members accounts will be terminated immediately, if log-in information is passed to a third party or if any abuse of privilege is identified. The IP address of any access to this website is always logged.
Personal information collected as a result of an application for membership, a suggestion/comment, or from our visitors guestbook, will not be divulged to any person or entity for any purpose whatsoever unless we are legally bound to prevent or detect a crime.
Thousands of hours of research have been put into the collection of the data for this website. All data published is freely available but ONLY for genealogical research, entertainment or non-commercial purposes. Nothing is for sale on this website and data may NOT be made available to any person or entity for commercial gain without the express, written consent of the website owner.
Research is an on-going process and errors and omissions are inevitable on a project of this type. We are always pleased to hear from anyone able to provide additions and corrections. We cannot be held responsible for any such errors or omissions, nor for their effect on any individual, living or dead, howsoever caused.
All persons using this website are deemed to have agreed with all of the foregoing. If not, you must leave this website immediately.
The website owners decision in all matters is final.

We hope that you enjoy your visit to our website and that you find it interesting and fulfilling. Please feel free to leave any comments in our Guestbook.
