Talk:Robin Forlonge Patterson (1940)

From Familypedia

Robin, what's the protocol (if any) on this genealogy wiki) for placing information about the living. I thought about following your lead and establishing my own bio page like this, but both my parents are living as are my siblings, etc. If this is already being talked about elsewhere, please point me in the right direction. Thanks! Jillaine 16:58, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Not found Help:Living people? What a busy life you lead! You could just have your parents' names and no hint of dates (if that's OK with them) or even use the WorldConnect method ("Living Smith", etc). I'm sure it's been talked about in the last few months. Try a search for "privacy"; yes - 18 hits, several of them relevant. Hmmmm - hitting the "Privacy policy" link should get you somewhere relevant but doesn't. Aaaaargh! Maybe I can coopt some underworked newbie to put a list of relevant links on that page, including a link back to Central Wikia? Robin Patterson 13:47, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

I tried. Not sure I did it right. And by the way, once I'm back to work next week, my time over here will more than cut in half; it's just lucky that I found GenWikia the week I had off of work! Jillaine 16:44, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Gibson family tree

Hi Robin, I'm writing to see if we are from the same Gibsons.My GGGrandfather James Henry Gibson is apparently Marion & Alexanders older brother. The first born son of James & Janet (Reid) Gibson, I have only just found this connecton but don't have any records to back it up, I'm in the process of trying to find some information.All we knew of James Henry was his family was originally from Scotland, but arrived in New Zealand from somewhere in America, a lot of info disappeared when my Grandfather & his siblings were put in an orphanage around 1911. I have found two sites that have corresponding information, giving James & Janet as his Father & being born in St Johns Newfoundland,on their trees. James Henry arrived in New Zealand some time before 1867 when he married Annie Clyde.If you are interested in swapping info I would love to hear from you,check out my tree on 'Tribal Pages'- 'The Gibson Family' password 'otaki'. Can email at janegibson99@gmail.com

Hope to hear from you soon

Jane Gibson
