it has been quite some time since i requested anything having to do with
family history. i do recall that once i had to send a copy of my driver's
license but can't recall the particulars.
this particular practice does seems an invasion of privacy.

personally, i can find out quite a bit about you by accessing a variety of
web sites and paying a small fee. maybe that's why it is called the
information highway. (:
we really have very little privacy in the 21st century.
