Yesterday Karen E. Willard asked:

Karen, the short answer is yes, I am satisfied with this TMG option.

Here's the longer answer:

First, the "suppress details for living persons" applies to any published
report that I make. I commit to my cousins that I will not exchange event
details for living persons.

Second, I make a pass through my data set to reset the Living flag before I
publish. I use the criteria of a birth year after 1905 and no death or
burial tag.

Third, I make a pass through the report using my word processor to change
the phrase "is still living" to read "is presumed to be still living".

Hope this helps,

George
