The process was typical. Give it an email and a freshly generated password, click on I read stuff, get a validation code in the email... I started with gmail. I looked in inbox and spam. It took awhile. When I finally used it, it had timed out. So ok , lets try aol. ... (I really should get some sleep, there it is along with a letter from HCR in case social media decides not to share. mumbling about reauthenticating my PC needing the phone, which already had the code, but is still sitting by my bed. So how long does it take to drain the kefir without stirring?) ... No problem . And 12 hours later, after another email sent, gmail is connected too.

> How do I keep my family's data private while discussing with you?
Protecting your family's data and privacy is crucial, especially when discussing sensitive information. Here are some steps you can take to maintain privacy while using my assistance:
### 1. **Avoid Sharing Personally Identifiable Information (PII)**
- **Use Initials or Pseudonyms**: Instead of sharing full names, use initials, pseudonyms, or generic terms (e.g., "Grandfather A" or "Ancestor B").
- **Omit Specific Details**: Avoid sharing exact birthdates, addresses, or other identifying details unless absolutely necessary.
### 2. **Generalize Information**
- **Focus on General Questions**: Frame your questions in a way that focuses on methodology or general research strategies rather than specific individuals.
- **Use Hypothetical Scenarios**: If you need help with a specific issue, consider rephrasing it as a hypothetical scenario.
### 3. **Limit Sensitive Data**
- **Avoid Uploading Private Documents**: Refrain from sharing or uploading documents that contain sensitive information about living individuals.
- **Use Redacted Examples**: If you need help interpreting a document, redact names, dates, and other identifying details before sharing.
### 4. **Use Secure Platforms**
- **Choose Trusted Platforms**: Ensure you're using a secure and reputable platform to interact with me.
- **Clear Chat History**: If the platform allows, clear your chat history after our conversation to minimize data retention.
### 5. **Be Mindful of Context**
- **Avoid Sharing Living Individuals' Data**: Focus your questions on deceased ancestors, as their information is often part of the public record.
- **Consider Local Privacy Laws**: Be aware of privacy laws in your country or region that may affect how you share genealogical data.
### 6. **Ask General Research Questions**
- **Focus on Techniques**: Instead of asking about specific individuals, ask about research methods, record types, or historical contexts.
- **Example**: Instead of asking, "Can you find information about John Smith born in 1850?" ask, "What records should I search for someone born in 1850 in New York?"
### 7. **Use Publicly Available Information**
- **Stick to Public Records**: When discussing specific ancestors, limit your questions to information that is already publicly available (e.g., census records, historical documents).
### 8. **Review and Redact**
- **Double-Check Before Sharing**: Before sharing any information, review it to ensure no sensitive or identifying details are included.
- **Redact as Needed**: If you must share a document or excerpt, redact any private information.
### 9. **Understand AI Limitations**
- **Data Retention Policies**: Be aware that some AI platforms may temporarily store conversation data for improvement purposes. Check the privacy policy of the platform you're using.
- **Avoid Storing Sensitive Data**: Do not use me to store or archive sensitive family information.
By following these guidelines, you can safely discuss your genealogical research while protecting your family's privacy. If you have further concerns or need clarification, feel free to ask!

A family citation should look contain a Children of line and the collection of descendants. To be fair this is the citation level in gramps with page and family number for both individual and families
For completeness there should be linked(?) info about the collection
0 @R1@ REPOI failed to figure out GEDCOM approved products. It could be interesting to run the official validator against an export of gramps example database.
