Hi Donna,
I am not clear if I've got this quite right but it seems from what you say
that individuals who are living are marked private and people need to
contact you to access these pages.
If that is the case then surely the details are on your site but not
accessible without a password (or something). Google does not know this and
as far as I am aware will index all pages except those that it has been
specifically told not to access when the site is registered with them.
It is not a problem I have come across as I only have basic information of
private individuals on my pages but I think most search engines which use a
crawler work in a similar manner.

Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Privatize ALL the Living - Help
No...actually I have never published any details on living people. I cannot
undertand how Google is able to grab information that is private. My living
people, if you go to my site, has always said 'private' and you had to
contact me. It is supposed to be crawled every 3 days and it seems to have
all the details since the day it was indexed...the cache has details too,
but not dates, just full names. I don't know how it can access it. Since it
is clearly not on my site and it is indexed every 3 days or so. However, I
notice that if I privatize an individual, then all my data is deleted from
my gedcom before I even upload it to my server for my pages.
