This issue of "privacy" is very disconcerting from the aspect of the family historian/genealogist. From my personal point of view, the fact that a person exists and has been named is a matter of record. Now, that having been said, there is no doubt that some of that individual's personal information is entitled to protection ... in the US, social security numbers for example ... any information which might lead to a FUNCTIONAL identity theft. Therefore, it seems to me that certain FIELDS be capable of being privatized" but the idea that anyone has the right to circumvent public information is silly. Birth certificates, marriage certificates, death certificates ... all are a matter of public record (in US in any event) and personal preference will do absolutely nothing to circumvent this fact.
