Combining living records

It would be nice if the living person could combine all of their own living records so that there is just one while the living person knows the correct information. For example my Dad (who is living) has a code for himself and half of my siblings have his code listed. But there is a second code where the other half of the siblings are connected. ( it depended on who help who log in for the first time and connect Dad and Mom).

The problem we are running into is that my Dad just retired and has 10 children and I as his child have been uploading photos on my account for Dad and no one with the other code can see it and any photos documents etc. uploaded by the other family including my Dad I can't see because he has a different code.

Yes I know that we can email and search but for the amount I am adding it is a lot of work to send to 10 people each time I work add to his code.

    The easiest and best way to protect the privacy of the living is to not put any information about them online, anywhere. Keep track of your living relatives in offline genealogy software. Share that file with your dad and siblings so that it is as complete and correct as it can be, but don't put it anywhere public.
