Hi Merry I saw that thread and immediatly thought thats a good idea, then realised how many people would be hidden! Apart from me the living people on my tree are written as My Mum, My Husband etc and kept to a minimum, which is I think a much better way to control who's details are hidden. I'm just waiting now for hot matches to pick these up! Rachelxx |

I think what they should think about doing, is having a list of everyone in your tree who is under 100 with no death and maybe you could tick yes or no if you want them showing? |

If you go to My Account details you will see GR has now made it possible to privatise your tree. Unfortunately they have messed up (in my opinion!), because if you tick the box you will remove identifying details from all those on your tree who have no date of death AND were born up to 120 years ago (YES, 120!!!!!). Now, many people must have relations on their tree born in the 1890's for whom they have no further info after 1901 and therefore no death, yet these people are going to be dead now. If these people are effectively wiped from your tree when you click the Privatise button on Account Details, you may lose the link to a new cousin contact (''Is that my granny on your tree??'') What do others think? I'd say think carefully before using this tick. They should have made it 100 years. Merry x |
