Just a thought - when I joined GR, I understood that it was inadvisable to add living relatives without their permission-which would mean they would need to agree to their details being shared, and would also presuppose they would be old enough to grant that permission. As a result, I didn't add anyone alive to my tree. Surely, if you DO choose to add someone living to your tree, especially if that relative is a minor, you have to accept a measure of personal responsibility if another member chooses to to access that information which you have freely chosen to give ?

Hi Janet, I have only added the names of living relatives who have given me permission but as GR states we are not allowed to add names of living without their permission then it means people must have permission from each of my living relatives to add their names and not just add them because I shared my tree otherwise GR would say you may not add names of living people without their permission unless someone else shared them with you. My Children are aged between 20yrs and 8mths and whilst they have been added to my tree they are just on there as Mr, Miss, Master etc. Except for one of my daughters who sadly passed away, her name is on my tree. When my eldest child turned 18 I asked him about changing his Master to his name and he said he would rather I didn't but could I change him to Mr....lol My next son is also 18 but as he has so many problems I don't feel he understands enough to grant me permission so have just changed his name to Mr. Shaz
