    Doesn't Ancestry only have records on those who've signed up? Wow--Sarn Dyer--what did ever happen to him? There have been a lot of people
    through this newsgroup over the years.

    Of course not: Ancestry has bejillions of records like ship manifests
    and birth/death records from Lithuania and all kinds of microscopic
    records. These are not procured solely for names that appear in their
    own subscriber list.

    Didn't know that--thanks. I've been studiously avoiding the genome
    sequencing people.

    We all draw privacy lines where we draw them. After mentioning some
    stuff about my family and vague travels, a kindly person (on facebook)
    sent me an image file of a ship's manifest: 1953, the S.S. United
    States, a crossing from New York to Bremen where my own name and those
    of my family appear. It was hair-raising.

    I know I've seen you post about more recent travels. I hope this was a
    FB "friend" and not some random stalker. My FB profile is actually
    public; I should probably change that.
    But FB is obviously only a small part of the problem. A few years back
    my niece, whose boyfriend is German (they met at Cornell) presented her
    with a photo of my paternal grandfather rocking a Hitler moustache (he
    was naturalized in 1943, and looking at the photo and guessing his age,
    I'm thinking the photo was from about then. That was scary to me.

    Of course; those were post retirement and pre-pandemic.

    I hope this was a FB "friend" and not some random stalker. My FB
    profile is actually public; I should probably change that.

    It was a long-time internet friend, like you! All my FB activities have
    been public as well. I don't have any fear of stalking. Though I've run
    into some of the creeps from facebook over there, and sadly some of the
    work as admins in FB group, I have blocked them with FB, as I did on
    usenet. The good thing about FB is that I can be assured they will not
    see *my* posts either.

    But FB is obviously only a small part of the problem. A few years back
    my niece, whose boyfriend is German (they met at Cornell) presented her
    with a photo of my paternal grandfather rocking a Hitler moustache (he
    was naturalized in 1943, and looking at the photo and guessing his age,
    I'm thinking the photo was from about then. That was scary to me.

    Well he was a school friend, as you say. But yes, there are odd folks
    that make strange decisions. Blocking works well.

    I met Sarn Dyer when he was a judge in the Benidorm International Music Competition. I have also just seen his name in videos of the Duke of Edinburgh's funeral. One of the pieces was a beautiful cantata, 'Psalm 104', by William Lovelady with new words
    adapted from the Bible by Sarn Dyer. Funny that they put his name as SAM but I corrected it because I had seen a recording of this music a long time ago. The cantata was commissioned in 1997 by the duke for his 75th birthday. Sarn Dyer is also a
    composer, some his music is on YouTube.
