If we all put Living Living won't we get pages of hot matches for that name?

It's only when you actually view someone's tree that the names turn to private (if you use GR's tick to do the privatising) Anyone under the age of 120 (lol) with no date of death will be considered to be alive. Merry

Thanks Pat (for the question) & Jess (for the answer) I've always privatised my gedcom from FTM before but GR doesn't like it - perhaps this will work better??!! Sarah :-)

Thanks Jess, Why couldn't they just put that in the email, instead of press this button to locate and you just end up on the home page. Oh why make things so difficult. Pat

I have had a news letter from GR this morning informing me that they have now added a new button so that we can hide the living in our tree, I have searched for it and cannot find it, I have asked about this and am awaiting a reply. I hope I'm not going blind. Pat
