Folks,
Maybe I'm just paranoid (I've never denied that), but it seems to me that
creating a Family Tree website is a risky business.
In the US, at least, most banks use your "Mother's maiden name" as the
*secure* password to make sure it is you they are talking to. In these days
of identity theft it seems that publishing that little detail on the web for
all the world to know (not just yours, but those of your entire family) is
not exactly in the brilliant category.
So, I'd recommend that if you are creating such a thing (and I am) you
strongly look at secure login as a *requirement* of the project, not an
afterthought. That or keep it on a CD that you can hand out to your
relatives, instead of putting it on the web.
In Harmony's Way, and In A Chord,
Tom :-})
