If you feel it's not compromising anyone still living I don't see why you shouldn't. The 100 year rule is very much a rule of officialdom - when the census, birth and death etc details are taken, it is promised that no/limited details will be released before 100 years are up. We are not limited by that, but simply by common sense. I have to say there is nothing nicer than connecting with a still living branch of your family - I've managed that several times, mostly through posts I've made here which others have found through Googling names in their own family (yes, do be aware that posts to here are not completely private).
