This site was created to connect and / or re-connect with our Talcott family wherever they are. We also want this site to be a place where we can share information, memories, photos, and ideas about the family. Note that our site is private!
Everything you need to know about setting up a profile to gain access to the rest of the site is on this page. If you have questions, please contact the administrator, Linda Sandison Talcott.
All contact information (address, phone number, e-mail address) that you enter into this website will be kept confidential. The host of this web site, ClassCreator.com, has a good history of secure operations. They understand the importance of your privacy. Your personal information will never be sold to other sites.

Your contact information is private; your street address, e-mail address, and phone number cannot be seen by other family members. Each member has the ability to limit the visibility of his or her profile to other family members by clicking on the appropriate answer in the Profile Visibility section during profile setup. If you do not opt for privacy on this line your profile can be viewed by non members such as your friends or family. Also, your profile will be fully indexable by major search engines.
Finding your web site Profile pages by searching Google or other major search engines:
Emails may be shared within this site using the contact option at the top of each family member's profile page (just look under the main photo in the upper left). This way you will be able to contact members without sharing your private email address, unless you choose to do so.

Please note that if you do not want your name and picture on this site it may be removed by contacting Linda SandisonTalcott . This will end all communications to you from the Talcott Family Association, Inc., unless you ask that special arrangements be made.

Private information like your email address, home address, and phone numbers will not be visible to fellow family members. We collect multiple types of contact information in the event that we need to contact you by snail mail or phone. Your information will never be given to other family members without your permission.
We encourage you to add a current picture to your profile as a master photo. This photo will be displayed in various areas around the site.

Updates: If you change your email address, snail mail address, or phone number, please update your Contact Info so we have up to date information. That way you'll always be in the know about what your Talcott family is up to!
Passwords:
Choosing a password: Passwords do not need to be the high security style recommended for some sites. Choose something simple that you are certain you will remember. Clicking the "Remember Me" will allow you to bypass entering the password each time you visit, but eventually the "remember me" will fail (for instance when you get a new computer). Please make note of your password!
If you do forget your password simply click on "forgot password". If you have several email accounts, and you don't remember the one you used to set-up your account, contact Linda Sandison Talcott. This could take a while so please be patient.
The site assembles a missing list for us, based solely on the names of people who don't have profiles; we are entering the names of everyone for whom we have some form of contact information. Until you have a profile, the site will consider you "missing". We need your help to contact EVERY Talcott family member. If you have information about other Talcott family, listed or not listed, please contact Linda Sandison Talcott.
To contact a fellow family member, you may simply use the email option at the top left of each family member's Profile page (located under Master Photo). This feature will allow open communication between members, while protecting your personal information. If you wish to share your email address or other personal information within a message written on our site, the site will not block you from doing so.
Adding pictures is not a requirement to participate on the site, but it certainly is a nice way to get to know people.
