I hope you realize that Legacy like most other genealogical software programs provides of "privatizing" a users GEDCOM file in that all LIVING individuals would have detailed information removed. Legacy even offers to change all of their names to "LIVING". Using those options, you can upload to the Internet without any living relatives seeing their names. In addition, even if you don't take the steps to privatize your GEDCOM, if you upload to RootsWeb/Ancestry.com they will automatically removed information and names for all living persons (defined as born after 1930).
And at the risk of starting another going-nowhere discussion, I continue to wonder about this. These are the same people whose name, address, and phone numbers are listed in the phone book, listed at 411 information, had their birth announcement printed in the paper which gave their parents names, and probably had a wedding announcement in the newspaper giving the bride's maiden name. <<<The noise you hear is the collective sigh of 100,000 genealogists.>>> Brian -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tracy Skegg Sent: Wednesday, March 12, 2008 1:39 AM To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] family updates Sorry forgot to mention why I create a CD-ROM over uploading to the Internet - my immediate family members have let me know they don't want to find themselves on the Internet.
