If your goal is to have living members of various families view and correct data, You can do it through a web site that with a little work can be password protected and placed in folders under a domain that are much harder (although not impossible) for search engines to list.
I wouldn’t do this through the big genealogy sites, but if you were to talk to your local Internet Service Provider, they could probably set you up with a web site pretty inexpensive and password protect. Have legacy make a web page of your entire file and copy that to a CD and bring it with you to the provider, they can transfer the data to the new website. >From there just let those that you want to see have the address and password. Jay _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 06, 2007 1:40 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [LegacyUG] How to make entire database available? We have only 10 or 12 generations going back 200 years. After thinking about it, I realize now that the Descendants Book Report is including just direct descendants of the earliest guy and isn't including the parents of the in-laws and all their ancestors and relatives. These would constitute separate lines (insert head-slap here). So only about half of the people in the database are showing up in the report. I would speculate that the only way to print the entire database is to know the earliest person of all the lines of descent and then doing a Multiple Lines of Descent report. Is this the case? That's not going to be possible for my file because there are going to be so many lines. There probably isn't any way to organize such a mass for printing. On the one hand, I want to get as much info out to the family as possible for error-checking. On the other hand, I know we have so many errors that I don't want to mix our data in with publicly accessible databases such as Ancestry.com. What do other people do about this? I think we can put the database and a copy of Legacy on a terminal at a local library. That would be ok for the locals. Is there a way to put the database on a private website and make it navigable by users? _____ Get a sneak peek of the all-new HYPERLINK "http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour/?ncid=AOLAOF00020000000982"; \nAOL.com.
