how do genealogy when family won't give info?
either go around them via paper trail (bmd certificates, obits, newspapers, census entries . . .) or convince them keep born after 1900 on pc , not publish them. gedcom privitizing utility or use roots magic, has 1 built in. when upload data, export 4 data bases have differerent branches , make sure check "make private" box each time. import them new data base named "public". check 20 - 30 people still living make sure have been privitized, make fifth gedcom out of "public" data base , upload it.
makes hard genealogy.
