Security Update


To address the security concerns, I did some testing with our blog. You may have seen the name change on the headline. Once the specific posts were deleted, identities were safe. 

It seems the best solution is this. We'll go back to our original name...which will still keep us VERY PUBLIC. 

However, I advise NOT to post specific information like addresses, phone numbers, shoe sizes, bank accounts, etc. Last names are acceptable. If we eliminate last names altogether, we'll limit the ability to reach out to other relatives.  NOTE however, that certain cousins with the first initial T and the first initial D have requested further privacy.  Refer to said cousins with just first names. (By the way, I located the specific references to both and have deleted, after a few days, a search for those specific names did not return any reference to our site, identities safe.) 

In all seriousness, sometimes we innocently post info about others; newspaper articles, etc. that include info about one of us that that person may not want posted. IF you find data about YOU that shows up when doing a search for yourself and you don't want it public, send me a quick note with the specific date of the post, and I will gladly delete it. 

Thanks for all the personal email suggesting solutions for this. My favorites shall and will remain secure and anonymous. You know who you are!
