What is the best way of protecting the privacy of the living while compiling a family tree for inclusion on one of the many ancestry sites - how do others handle it?

I had this question from a cousin and don't know how to answer



whether I should record all Living Descendants of my grandparents

with name only and an M for male or F for female, excluding all vital and confidential information such as
births, and marriages, and writing the word Living or and Private,
before each living descendent. What do you think? I am very concerned about identity theft

I have numerous cousins, but about half a dozen or less who are familycontributors to the Gill Tree.

Help & advice welcome, T.I.A. Ruth
