Introduction to Finding Ancestors in Manitoba - International Institute: Difference between revisions

As researchers we are anxious to learn as much as we can about our family. However, this knowledge brings with it responsibilities. Because we learn or find information about family members does not mean we have the right to share it without their permission. By publishing “facts” we could inadvertently deprive others of insurance or other benefits they are entitled to or worse still leave them open to identity theft. Permission must also be sought before pictures you receive from family members are shared. Give credit to the owners of the pictures and documents information provided by others. The old adage “treat others as you would wish to be treated” is a good rule to follow.
