Hi: Is there anyone who can tell me what is the proper way to address this situation? I have collected thousands of names in doing my 10 family surnames.  Have collected this info via phone, mail and personal interviews, collected all sorts of stories, articles, photos,  pictures of headstones, etc.  My only purpose for doing this was to put together books for each surname with the above info in them for any of our relatives who are interested in having one - to enjoy at no cost.  I am doing them on my computer and putting them into a three ring notebook with pictures of the oldest ancestors from that line on the front of the book. My question is under those circumstances, is there anything wrong with listing everyone - including the living and with their birthday and birthplace - on the descendancy tree in each book, so they can all see who their cousins are? If legally, I can not put their birth info, is it all right to just put their names with no dates or places - just stating "living"?  And, if that is the case, is there some sort of software that one can use to print  just that "living", since I have all of these people in my Family Tree Maker?  What a shame to have to leave living people off after so many of them have shown such an interest in this project? I have gotten such conflicting data on this situation, I do not know what I should do. Any help is appreciated.  Thank you so much taking the time to read this lengthy letter.  Jackie Jacquel384@aol.com
