Hi Jax
Please accept my deepest sympathy for having no living relatives. It is so sad to be at the end of a line. I certainly hope that the research you do for your own interest in your past is a great comfort to you.
Secondly thank you so very much for taking all that time and effort to copy and paste the rules covering the inclusion of living relatives in one's tree. You cannot know just how helpful that is to me, and I'm sure, to many other members of Genesreunited.
Do you think that if you use the "Hide Living Relatives" option that it is acceptable to include in your Genesreunited tree a living relative even if permission to do so has not been specifically given by that individual?
Maybe you can clarify one further issue for me. If somebody else gives you access to his or her tree with permission to copy any relevant information from his or her tree to yours, and that tree includes a living relative, can, indeed should, one assume that the original treeholder has permission from the said living member to include him or her in the tree? And given that assumption, does it mean that consequently you are not transgressing any rules if you include any such living relative in your own tree. On the other hand, if that assumption is not safe, firstly how would you know, and secondly does this mean that every single person who includes an individual in a tree has to make contact with that living individual to ask for permission to include him or her in their tree? If you believe this to be true, can you suggest how one would go about finding contact details for each and every one of the individuals involved?
Anyway, after all that I am now, after a family history research trip, and a terrible cold, ready to restart my search for Wendy, and I promise to be careful.
Best wishes
Geoff

Hi Fairthorn
I did not ring Wendy. I had hoped I was ringing her but found that I was speaking to somebody who was not her. Sorry if what I wrote was ambiguous.
Best wishes
Geoff
