Regarding the issue of information on living people being available on Genes Reunited. There have been significant updates to the site this week, and there is now the option (sadly not the default) to update your profile so that information on living (defined by GR as anyone with a birth date in the last 120 years and no death date recorded) is hidden. By removing personal information about yourself as well (but maintaining the record) you can help to protect information in the future. Of course it does not help with data that has already been "picked" from your tree but at least will help to protect your own privacy a little (not perfect I know but a step in the right direction).
