Hi folks, Seems a good idea but I note that it is possible for members to include personal information about people who are still alive. It might be stating the obvious but members should get permission from these people before adding their details to the family tree, else they could find themselves liable to prosecution under the Data Protection Act. Sorry to be a legal pedant but if it saves someone some embarrassment then it's been worth it. Kind regards Tom Meiklejohn
