Author	Family members wants to be deleted

Junior Member Customers GenoPro version: 2.0.0.1 Last Login: Wednesday, August 17, 2005 Posts: 24, Visits: 0	I have a cousin that wishes her name and the name of her child be deleted from the family tree. I do not know why. I've asked but she has not been forthcoming. At any rate, she wants this to be done. I feel being a member of a family is a binary event. Either you is, or you ain't a member of the family. If you is, you get placed on the tree. I am thinking maybe I can just eliminate her birthdate information. ie, select not to view her age. However, if you "drill-down" in to a .gno form, the dd/mm/yy shows up. Is there someway to keep the information but make it invisble from view? Your help is appreciated. s

The idea of the privacy filter is to allow you to share your genealogy, yet prevent some information to be accessible to all. GenoPro 3.0 will address more this issue with security permission to read and/or edit some data fields. Some individuals are real trouble makers. For example, one guy was dating my cousin and put her pregnant. I cannot delete this guy from the genealogy tree because he is "part" of the family, although he is "completely" gone. The problem is this guy is intelligent (not always), yet dishonest, violent and quite dangerous. One night, after receiving threats, I locked all my doors and windows because I was afraid of him to come as I was helping my cousin. This incident occured five years ago and I still remember it like yesterday. This guy is a lawyer and thinks of himself as God. Well, you can be sure I will not put any personal data about him unless there is a strong "privacy filter" on him, otherwise I may end up with a painful lawsuit. The only data that I will allow to be "public" about him is his first name, so he will have no ground to seek revenge. If I put his birthday, it would be enough for him to use start a lawsuit for disclosing personal information and require monetary compensation. This guy is after money big time, as I suspect he has some addictions. I am not sure if he would win the lawsuit about the birthday issue, but it would be a waste of emotional energy and time. This guy is always looking for fights and seems to love nurturing an hostile environment. The privacy filter will be very useful to mark some individuals as "dangerous". You can count on me, once the privacy filter is applied, the privacy filter is also removed on the cloned copy, so someone viewing the filtered .gno file could never imagine a privacy filter was applied to him/her.
