Yes, I could run a Windows partition, but simply don't have the time to get into that. I do have a lot of land records and would love a Mac solution for the ideas above.

I understand the need to protect privacy; I just don't understand why privacy rules are applied without consideration of the age of the records. As records age, they become less invasive of the privacy of living people; but many privacy laws permanently close records. <br /><br />I also agree that the effects on living people should be the primary consideration. But I've actually seen cases where researchers trying to discover information about their direct ancestor's medical history had a very difficult time opening the records, even though they were the only known heirs.Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07551585938832140308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3618256258221270717.post-65248353538807608982009-12-02T13:04:24.106-08:002009-12-02T13:04:24.106-08:00There must be a balance.

If the direct descendants prefer privacy, why should the wants of more distant relatives, or generic researchers, have precedence? <br /><br />Consider also cases of genetic conditions, which if made public, could put risks of abuse (insurance or employment discrimination, for example) onto the living descendants.<br /><br />We have to remember that genealogy is a hobby, but invading the privacy of families can have serious real-world effects.Infinite Ancestorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15070860428917329109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3618256258221270717.post-48955861894002163882009-01-07T19:36:00.000-08:002009-01-07T19:36:00.000-08:00Unfortunately not -- that sounds more lucrative th...Unfortunately not -- that sounds more lucrative than my usual output.
