Dennis, and others...
I'm going to weigh in here with what I hope is a workable alternative.  I 
can't think of much that gets me so over-the-top as looking through family 
trees, gedcoms, etc. and finding the last 60 yrs or so to be nothing but 
"living" or "private" annotations with little if any data... which is to, 
frankly, be read as "usefulness."

I would think that it would be best, if this is such a concern to folks, to 
simply make a copy of your "real" Legacy file and then "sanitize" for 
public distribution making no mention whatsoever of these "private" 
individuals ... as if your work ended near on 100 years ago.  There can be 
no utility whatsoever to even suggest additional individuals exist if the 
pertinent data cannot be checked, verified, or included.

There are lots of these family trees out there which are not worth the 
trouble to look at simply because they start (with real information) about 
1840 and go back earlier.  1840 to present is apparently too private for 
discussion?

Maybe it's just one of my pet peeves... sorry
Scott Carlton
