What does "Private_M" and "Private_F" mean?

It means the name of a male (M) or female (F) person is being suppressed for privacy reasons.

The software gives the person the most restrictive status by default. If I believe the person is not living or if a living person gives me permission, I lift the Private restriction. In some cases, I forget to lift the restriction for someone who is deceased. So, it is an error if a deceased person is shown as Private.

I make the assumption that someone is deceased if his or her age would be much more than 100 years. I also make this assumption if I find a death record or an obituary, however both these kinds of records can be in error, or I can match them incorrectly. Please inform me of any errors.

What does "Restricted_M" and "Restricted_F" mean?

It is supposed to mean that an immediate family member has requested that the name of a deceased person be suppressed or that the page generating software has been run with a higher level of privacy restriction than normal. The restriction level normally allows printing of names at restriction levels of 3 or above, but can be set higher. In many cases it is just an error because the record in the database has been entered wrongly.

Is publishing Social Security numbers of deceased people a security risk?

The government publishes Social Security numbers of deceased persons. They are available many places on the web and in electronic files from the government. This is supposed to be a security feature so that banks and lenders can detect false Social Security numbers. The information published by the government includes birth and death dates and a good guess at the person's place of residence at the time of death. This is an invaluable aid to genealogists.

In short, if it is a security risk, the government is to blame, and this information is free available on the web to anyone.

Why are you doing this?

I don't really believe in bloodlines and stuff. This is America. You are who you are, not who your folks were.

So the answer is: mostly just for fun, like a big reality-based crossword puzzle. Of course, I'd be happy for hints. I'm publishing it because it may mean something more to someone, someday.

How come you show something happening in a particular county before that county existed?

When I can, I use modern place names. Usually when new counties were organized, public records for that area were transferred to the new county. In some cases, however, I use old place names because I do not know what the modern jurisdiction is for the particular place. This is more of a problem in rural areas and unincorporated settlements and when historic towns have become extinct.

We're not related to all these people, are we?

Well, no. Nobody is related to all of them. I have included information about many collateral lines when I have found it. Usually you will not be related to the father of a woman who married your mother's brother, but I may have included part of his line. On the other hand, in the case of double cousins, you might be related to the father of a woman who married your mother's brother because he might also be the father of the man who married your mother. Such a thing has occurred at least once in the Ewing and Stevenson lines.
