Hi, just been doing a search on if people give out their home addresses to new contacts, and only came across this one!
A cousin of my granny has been in touch, with some great information. he is from a second marriage and didn't know about his grandfather's first marriage (the line I'm from). We've been emailing all weekend and he has sent photographs through and a scroll which is fab. As we know, photographs are great, but it also turns out that our joint connection - his grandfather and my GG Grandfather was in a movie (very small part but he talks!) and he is going to get a copy taken and send it to me. Of course this means me giving out my address and I'm unsure. He is genuine (I'm sure!) but I'm unsure if I should give him my home or work address as it is early days still. As previous comments have mentioned home addresses can be tracked down anyway.
Am I just being too cautious? He did send me an email from his work today so I know where he is and he is high up in the company - and yes I did google the company and his name and got matches just to be nosey!
Advise greatly appreciated!
