[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] TVO program on genealogy

[Kenneth Browne]

I imagine this will be similar to what I read about on CNET about a 
'new free Genealogical database with zillions of records.' Biggest 
problem is that when you share data with such places they include 
private information, such as names, dob, addresses, etc of you and 
your living relatives.
FamilyTreeNow.com was presented as an example in an article on CNet 
<https://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-remove-your-name-from-familytreenow-com/>. 
If you go to the web site
it looks like you would expect a genealogy web site to look, complete 
with sepia tone pictures, etc.

    For those in the broadcast range of Ontario and are able to view
    TVO, there
    is a special History piece on genealogy this evening Feb 1 at 9
    p.m. local
    time  entitled

    *Data Mining the Deceased*
    The description is as follows:


    *More than half of North Americans are fascinated by genealogy and
    invested
    in their family histories. The emotional impact of uncovering one's
    ancestors, culture and country of origin can be profound, but there is
    another side to the rise in genealogy that goes beyond human
    interest. This
    documentary explores what may be the largest historical enterprise
    in the
    world, and one of the largest data-mining operations, and how it
    is driven
    by big religion, big technology and big business.*
    It will be repeated at midnight (12 a.m.)

    Once broadcast, it will probably be avlb in their archives on their
    website www.tvo.org <http://www.tvo.org>
