The primary objective in genealogy is to identify all ancestors and descendants in a particular family tree and to collect personal data on them. As a minimum, this data includes the individual's name and the date/location of birth, marriage, and death.
Recently there has been much discussion about the security implications of including such information of living individuals on genealogical websites.
Potential concerns are twofold :
(i) Issues of privacy associated with birthdates, adoptions etc,
(ii) The risk that published information on living people may assist in identity theft.
All living individuals have a right to privacy of their personal information. Accordingly this website does not contain any details, such as names and birthdates of individuals believed to be living.
Specifically, all individuals born after 1911 are regarded as potentially living, unless research has shown them to have deceased, and will be suppressed as "Living" on all web pages and charts and excluded from reports.
In New South Wales, all registrations of births up to and including 1911, Marriages up to and including 1961 and deaths up to and including 1981 are readily available from the NSW Registry of births, Deaths & Marriages
and as such those that are relevant to the research on this site have been included.
