My cousin who I've never met put our family tree on the internet (all 120 of us).
I later informed her to remove the birth dates, just leave the years. From a security perspective .... very weak .... banks and other agencies always ask "what is your date of birth, and often ask your mothers maiden name, etc" and then let you do all sorts of things eg cancel credit card. I informed her I was concerned about identity theft.
So we now have the family tree on the internet, but my son and my birthdates only have our birth years :-)
It's great to have the family tree, but if you put it on the internet .... it's there for all to see. Grandparents dates are all there, banks don't ask about those.
And yes, there was an ancestor who swandered the family fortune.
