If they are family members and are on FB, as presumably you are too, surely you can ask them if they have any objections to you using this material/information in the way you describe. It would seem the courteous thing to do. I have e-mailed many people with public websites from which I have garnered information and they have all replied along the lines of "feel free, that's what it's there for" but most have added that it was nice to be asked. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
