Sherry, It is not my intention to knowingly publish anything about a living person. I am attemping to trace an immigrant family that was tied for a time to my line through marriage. The parents and several of their children may have been dead by 1930. I have no proof, but it is a possible conclusion after seeing the data disclosed in the 1930 US Census. My problem is that I don't know whether 3 of 4 siblings listed in that census are indeed still alive, so there is no question about getting permsission. I am certain that the youngest one is dead. His SS-5 information confirms that I am tracing the correct family and confirms the migration of this family across Europe and then across multiple states in the US. His death adds another state to the family's migration. Unfortunately at my end of this puzzle, the person to know about the link between the two families has been dead many years. As my family was extremely secretive, I have little in the way of family stories to work with. This story was not one of the few told. Margaret

At the time the government picked 72 years for privacy concerns, they never expected people to live as long as they do now! I would never publish anything on a living person, no matter how old they are, without their permission, even though all that information is a matter of public record! I believe Ancestry will suppress details of anyone still living.
