Hi Ellen,

Welcome to Wikitree!

For privacy, you might want to redact your birthday so hackers don't use it against you.

Hello, and thank you VERY MUCH for telling me this. I had no idea - I tend to forget that there are bad people out there who cruise all kinds of sites searching for information to use to their own evil ends! I immediately took your words of wisdom as truth and returned to WikiTree to delete my birthday and other private info; but I do not see an option wherein I can alter my information. In fact, I cannot locate the page I filled out when I "joined" yesterday.

Would it be possible for you to guide me to the correct page without too much inconvenience to you? I would appreciate it sincerely. If you saw my birth year, you must realize that I am rather old compared to the kids who grew up with emails! I am just not that savvy at navigating websites. I hope to hear from you soon. Thank you, thank you, Happy (Ellen E. Yates)
