    "use privacy filtering" in Web Report

    I have a large, old tree, 2500+ entries generated from a very old version of Generations that the Leister folks converted for me. I've been updating the tree using version 10, and maybe 9 before that, but now is the first time I'm trying to generate a serious web report.

    The key is that I don't want any details of living people. I'd really prefer to not show children or grandkids of living people, but lets defer that for later when I have the basics working.

    I have three flags that I used in the past. "Living" "dead" and "publishable"
    Of course this is mostly redundant, just Living Yes/No would be sufficient. The other two are there in case it helps.

    From the documentation it seems that the "privacy filtering" is based on "marked" but I am unclear on what marked means.

    What I have done, without success, is use Find to select "Dead", mark everyone in the list, and then run the report for "families with marked spouse". This fails completely. It creates a website with family pages for each couple, with everyone in the tree "living" with data supressed.

    What am I doing, wrong? What does privacy filtering really do?

    I think what you're doing wrong is marking people you want to *include* in the report, instead of marking people to *exclude*.

    I think you should visit the preferences (Reunion -> Preferences -> Privacy & Sensitivity Preferences), and put a check next to Who is private: People with this flag checked: (and select "Living" from the menu). Then do the report with privacy enabled for All Families.

    Alternatively, you could Mark everyone in your file, then unmark only the ones you want to include, by selecting "Who is private: Marked people".
