Website that posts your home address -- Do you want it too?

Website that posts your home address -- 

Do you want it available so easily?

A new family tree website is up and running.  It is called Family Tree Now.  The most unique factor that sets Family Tree Now apart from other people search sites is the fact that all of the information here is available for free in one place, no registration required. Anyone who has just a first and last name is able to dig up anything: cell phone numbers, work information, relative’s addresses, and a whole host of other information. This information is publicly available if you’re willing to dig in and search for it at a variety of different sites, but Family Tree Now takes it quite a few steps further, putting it all in one place for free. 

According to Kim Komando, you would be able to opt out of having your personal information on this site as well as others.  Read this link for more information.  http://www.komando.com/tips/391215/how-to-opt-out-of-the-most-popular-people-search-sites

Another link that explains it more fully is at LifeWire.  https://www.lifewire.com/family-tree-now-4129031?utm_campaign=todaysl&utm_medium=email&utm_source=cn_nl&utm_content=9067687&utm_term=bouncex15

While it may be good for your search for relatives, you may want to think about what can be found out about you.  Ancestry and other family tree sites do not provide information on living people to the general public.

Great Speaker for Wednesday, Feb. 15

Be sure to put this Wednesday's PC Club on your calendar.  We are extremely fortunate to have Dr. Byran Heidorn, Director (School of Information Resources and Library Science) as our speaker. https://ischool.arizona.edu/users/bryan-heidorn He will give us an overview of the Internet of Things, the network connection of many things even down to kitchen appliances.  He will also tell us about a citizen science project he is conducting that is based on wifi enabled hummingbird feeders that count licks of the sugar water from feeders for feed the nectar bats (Lesser Long-nosed bats) that migrate through Tucson.  I am especially excited about the topic of this meeting, so be sure to attend.
