Not that I want to spoil anyone's fun, but I have not joined Facebook, and I would now think very carefully before doing so, following an interesting article in today's Grauniad

Form your own judgement.

Will join the Rootschat group and I will be the one with the initials DBD...just so you know!

Good old Grauniad, nice to know it never changes and just serves to remind me of why I dont read it anymore.

I joined because the Open University has a network on there now and its a very useful way of linking students who would otherwise be quite isolated and its proving to be very popular.

Reynolds, Woodham, Payne, Wilmott, Hart, Richardson, Packwood, Tandy, Dexter - Bedfordshire.
Chamberlain and Wagstaff- Hunts.
Freeman, Cheney, Cox- Northants.
Burns, Muter, Cobban, Hossack, Strachan, Moonlight.
Lanarkshire, Ross and Cromarty and Kincardineshire.
Garvey- Ireland.

Hi Mean_Genie

What a very interesting article, I must say I read your article with the greatest of interest, erhemm whilst drinking a can of popular cola in a red can  ;)

I think we all have to be very carefull on the internet because what you input is open to the worlds eyes. This is great if you are researching family history like us as it attracts fellow researchers, this is why we stop people posting sensitive information within about 70 years or so.

Trystan and I do not use, encourage or intend to use these sites, security is always our number one concern not only for ourselves but also our users.

Sarah :)
