Contrary to many might think, most countries Privacy / Data Protection Laws do not prevent you as an individual from posting anyone's name on a public site without permission. In fact the activities of private individuals acting on their own account is generally excluded altogether from any legislation. In fact, in Australia, exclusions extend as far as businesses with a turnover of less than $3 million, unless they opt in. |

Any names on a GR tree will show up on the listings (even though you've ticked the box not to show living relatives on your tree). |

in theory I have living relatives on my tree. I just havent followed through on some siblings married line . I may have found a marriafge and children to 1911 but not followed on from there as the branches get further away . You could go on forever on twigs. |

If Brian has added living people to GR tree without their knowledge, he needs to be made aware of the "search all trees" function. |

Uh oh!, perhaps you're correst, Bob, I just assumed that it was a tree on GR here. Of course, if it's not an online tree one can do as one likes and if that's the case I apologize, Brian. |

I am the only living person on my tree here. My parents are listed as they are both deceased but I haven't listed my husband, siblings, children or grandchildren. Nor any living cousins. |

You have no right to put living people on an online tree without their permission. What do you expect to gain by it? Or are you a name collector? |

I am in a similar position to LadyScozz - most of mine originated from Scotland and Ireland, quite a few on the Wotherspoon side of my family moved to the Rugby area of Warwickshire in the mid 19th century - yet to start work on them though. |

GR records aren't much use to me, as I don't have many English relatives. |

I hope you have written permission in triplicate from each living person in your tree. |
