During last year I complained to the IOMFHS that the "Manx Lawsons & Related Families" pdf page relating to "Kinrade: New Zealand" contained personal information on myself, my family and other living relatives (aunts, neices, cousins etc) and that Brian had published the information to the internet, shortly before his death, without permission to do so.

I noted that several of the other pages also had highly personal information relating to living people.

John Morrison, who maintains the pages for the IOMFHS, chose in October to make the page link unavailable while the privacy issue was addressed.

This action was done in the interest of protecting the privacy of individuals who do not wish to have their personal details freely available on the internet, and I commend them for the action.

I would imagine that it may take some time to resolve the privacy issues inherent in the files.
