As I perform as much data analysis and entry as humanly possible for a person with two needy boys - sorry, one boy and one husband- I've come across a very wise tip from a cousin who is a hardcore family history person...
Everyone has concerns about identity theft and general privacy, and sometimes it makes them reserved... very reserved...
Well with the program I intend to use, as I have said before, it allows ME full control over what anyone can see. Namely, the public can see ONLY anyone who's already deceased. In order for them to see information on anyone who is living, they have to get by me, requesting a login, which I can assign levels of reading priveledge to. There are two settings, Nothing at all (only says "Living") or names only. We prefer the public to see nothing at all, thank you.
HOWEVER, the news is that the more information we have (ie. birth date and place, etc.) the easier it is for the software to figure out that 'you' are in fact alive. There's also a check mark thing that can be done (check here for living) but there will be a point when there's just too darn much information to want to do that manually...
