We need the family to be "out there" so that we can connect with other people working on our family tree. Anyone can see this site - all my websites - and the blogs and Facebook groups. They can see any album linked from the sites but they can't go trawling for other albums on Smugmug because it doesn't work like that and it's not indexed by search engines.
We need to protect family privacy, especially where family members are putting personal details on the internet so the MyHeritage site is completely private. Those researching one of our surnames will be sent to our tree on the Ancestry site where they can't see living people and will only be allowed to join the MyHeritage site if they are actually related and/or we know them well.
So you can safely add your information to the family tree and send me photos. If you want a photo archived for reference but not put on a website just tell me.
