Genealogy research, if performed correctly, requires a lot of time and
detailed, ethical research.
They Live Again wants to
recognize those individuals who have worked not only to preserve their family
history but also for spending the additional time and effort to create a web
page to share and assist others with their research.
The purpose of the Genealogy Excellence Award is to acknowledge
genealogy sites that combine verified, ethical research information within an
Internet format that can be easily understood and shared with other researchers.
Sharing of personal information for living persons can lead to identity theft.
Even if family members want this information published They Live Again will not endorse the
idea and no award will be presented. Please refer to the National Genealogical
Society's
Standards For Sharing Information With Others.
If you protect the rights
of the living then also apply for your site to be
GenETHICS Certified.
