It's frightening how much of your info could be on here.

The internet is without question the greatest invention of our time. It allows us to connect and share information in ways we never could have imagined.

But it also opens up the possibility of TOO MUCH information being shared. There are several websites that allow you to look people up and learn all sorts of details about you.

The latest to come to our attention is Family Tree Now. I just typed in my name, and it very quickly listed my age, current and previous addresses, and other members of my family, with links to their information.

It's scary to think that anyone can access this information anytime! Luckily, there is a way to get your information off this site. Just go to familytreenow.com/optout and follow the steps to have yourself removed. Just know that it could take up to 48 hours to do so.

Once you get yourself safe, be sure to let everyone you know about this!
