Marilyn --- Marilyn- The person's connection or lack thereof to your family is totally irrelevant to the issue of whether or not they have the right to use the photo. You haven't told us, I don't believe, whether your parents are still living. The fact that you stated that your parents "were" private people leads me to believe they are no longer living--and if this is the case--it needs to be stressed that deceased people have no privacy rights--the right to privacy extends only to the living.
