Privacy

Privacy is important to me and I always do my best to protect the data contained on this website.

Details about living people are hidden by default.

To view details about living people you must be a registered member of the website. To become registered you must show how you connect to the Doggart tree, preferably enabling yourself to be added in and connected to the main tree.

The website uses relationship privacy which will let you see information for people defined as a close relative.

You may see people identified as "Private". This happens when the website considers that you are not a close enough relative to access this data.

If you think your access is too limited contact me and we can discuss it. I do my best to address privacy issues quickly including the opposite where you think too much data is being shown.

Where has all this information come from

The information was obtained from many different sources. Mostly as a result of my own research in publically available information sources such as Civil Birth, Marriage and Death records, Census records and parish records. But also from information provided personally to me in email, letters and other ways from other Doggart family members.
