Many people are unaware that they are being posted in online family trees. If someone has posted your info (most likely a strangers) on ancestry.com The site will not remove it, but make it where it say's living. A private tree doesn't mean anything, since your info is being shared carelessly.. In my opinion You should have the right to have yourself and family removed completely on request. Some of my family members didn't want to be on a family tree on or off the internet. Some would make the argument, your info is on line anyway, but I know that it's not always true. Like I said it's not the point. I was glad to see a few post where privacy is consideration. It’s all about money and people should have consent, before adding the living to a data base/ family tree.

A real and great tribute to all the people that had an effect on our lives, our history, who belong to our identity, who we love and not only a gravestone or a memorial. Moreover we will be able to find out where we come from by tracking the lives of our ancestors. Maybe in a few hundred years my descendents will enjoy my biking clips, experience the way I´ve lived. As long as the datas will be managed reliable it´s certainly an awesome thing! It´s just awesome!

For census records, its 70 years. As for birth, death and marriage records, these are public...and I hate to tell you, but Ancestry.com already has indexed most of those anyway.

Geneaology is a HUGE American past time. Don't think cheesy online memorialization-- think of tracing your ancestry. Now put on your tech hat and think of how to formalize the establishment of relationships between names on the census cross linked with names on a Civil War muster roll. These guys at Footnote are building not just a database but the foundation for a schema for crosswalks. Its positively brilliant. A lot of you are COMPLETELY missing the point of Footnote.
