> I’ve decided to leave the website link out in the interest of discouraging abuse of the tool. I appreciate the sentiment, but I suspect this would be a more powerful demo if people actually found their own mother's maiden name. Anyone wanting to abuse it could find it trivially anyway (Google for "type your details below so we can start tracing your family", and you only get a single result). I do wonder how complete the site's records are. I can find most of my family, but it doesn't seem to think I exist. Edit: seems to be a weird search issue - given name + family name + year of birth returns multiple people who aren't me (with different given names / years of birth), but given name + middle name + family name + year of birth finds my details. Personally not too worried about it, as I use a random name in place of my mother's maiden name for banks etc., and have recommended to family that they do the same.
