Morning, Linda;
I only gave the information. I do know that there
are people still living who were born in 1919 (birth
index) and the information is being published without
respect to their privacy.
In the Marriages, again, it gives dates and again it
disrespects the privacy of the living persons. BTW, if
there is a 75 year limit on what information is to be
published, then why are the dates given from 1935 to
1955? The 1940 Federal census will not be opened to
the public until 2015. Why the double standard?
There is nothing wrong with the death indexes as these
people are already gone.
The point I was trying to make is that there are
persons named in these indexes who are still living,
and there are now privacy concerns as well as the
possibility of identification theft. Granted that the
information that was transcribed came from the WPA.
It still should have been the responsibility of the
person who transcribed it to have edited the
information from the years 1919 on as these
individuals may have still been living.
Current statistics show that our generation
("Babyboomers) and our parent's generation (1917-1929)
will be the fastest growing and the longest living to
populate this world now and in the future.
The guidelines may have been followed but it has left
openings for privacy concerns and identity theft.
