My aunt has collected a pile of family history going way back. She asked me to help her get it in a form which we can share via the internet. I wrote a Silverlight app which works fine and is restricted to invited persons only.

One thing that I am concerned with is privacy. I just published all the info I received - birth date, middle names etc.. Since then I wondered if that is a reasonable thing to do. 

Should I hide certain info for living people? I know it's family but some members don't like having their details on the interwebinternet even when it is password-protected.

What are your thoughts? Is there evenany relevant legislation?
