Building my own family history website!

Elaine, I recently made public a tree on ancestry for one of my [probable] ancestors, and invited several ancestry members with some of the same ancestors to share the tree.
I'm now aware of two family bibles, with ancestral information. Nothing yet to confirm my link, but so exciting!

You inspired me to try out TNG, and now I'm panicking! Thought it would be a weekend project to set up the preliminary but now!
I've liked FTF's method of removing GEDCOM records for persons born after 1900 - there doesn't seem to be that feature for TNG?
I think you may have more technical help at home than you let on!

Who do you want to hide living individuals from? I have mine set up so that if a unregistered visitor looks at the site then they cannot see living individuals.
If someone registers on the site then when I accept their "user registration" there is an option as to whether I want to allow them to view living people.
You can of course upload a GEDCOM file with living individuals already hidden - but that means that you wont be able to see them either! As ADMIN of the site you should be able to see everything - you then select what you want users to see.
Have you found the TNG Wiki yet?
A bit like a "help" site - some useful guides there.
Anyway, have a look at the user settings (via the Administration tab on your website) - if you need any more help come back and ask ... but I am not an expert (but I know someone who is!!!!!)Elaine

When you add a user you can specify what they can do, e.g. just view, act as an editor, restrict them to certain parts of trees, allow them to download GEDCOMS etc. - all accessed via the USER section when you are in ADMINISTRATION VIEW.
There is also a box where you can select whether or not they can view living indviduals - why not deselect that if you don't want them to see living persons?Elaine

Really impressive website you have built Elaine, something for us all to aspire to, like most people time is my biggest stumbling block, but maybe one day soon! I shall pop back and see how you progress with it on a regular basis.
