I just joined yesterday. My main concern with adding my genealogical information is the privacy of living relatives (and information on some recently dead ones as well). So I ran a little experiment with my Profile and Birthdate and Privacy settings. I set my privacy setting to Private with Public Biography and Family Tree. I am OK with it listing my birthdate on the Profile as 1960s. I think that is actually good and would be helpful in finding people. Then, to my surprise, I clicked on the little Family Tree Icon next to my name and on the Family Tree View, my actual birthdate appeared. Is there a difference in privacy? I was not expecting to see by birthdate there. My birthdate appears as 1960s as expected on the Wikid Shareable Tree.
Is there supposed to be a privacy difference? Let me know so I can add accordingly. I will leave my profile the way it is overnight if you need to verify.
So far, the site looks really cool. I look forward to contributing and helping out.
