It is one thing to research living or recently dead people. It is quite another to put them on an online tree. I was aghast to see a tree online which led to living people, their children, their full address and where the children were at school. This was on the flimsiest of connections in the early 1700s. When I remonstrated with the tree owner, he hit me over the head with that old excuse of "it's all information in the public domain so what's the problem?"

he was quite upset when I refused him access to my private tree. Alas, it took me ages to realise I should have told him he didn't need access to my tree because all the information is in the public domain, haha.
