Keep us informed, OurSutherland !! 

Didn't someone once say something about 'If good people do nothing about the bad things they see, then the bad will prevail' ?  Not that GR in itself is bad, its just that we want to know what others (specifically the TV company) will do with our info, especially that which is (unwisely) put on by some members about living relatives ...

I have found GR fairly useful so far, I have met members with the same ancestors as myself and we have swapped information and everything has gone fairly well.

If you dont want others to 'steal' your hard work then dont put it on in the first place, it is give and take in my opinion. Sometimes you will take info and sometimes you will give. If it helps others gain further insight into their family history then it is fine by me if they want to use some of my information.

But, BrianS, perhaps not info about illegitimacy, family breakups, divorce, etc IF the members are still alive and might find it intrusive or hurtful for it to be published on a public site ??  The 'give and take' which I too, find the best way to go about things, has always to be done with concern for others ...

GR has been good for me so far, but I do know of others who have found it intrusive ...
