What happens to memories/information loaded into Family Groups when a person dies
I hope to die before any of my children die. When I die will all that I have added to the family group be added to the FamilySearch Tree? I think that is what I would want. But, my children would continue using the Family group and their stuff would remain only in the Family group and would not be assessable by anyone not invited or a participant - yes? No?

Note: I did not mention sources. Will sources like birth certificates be moved to FamilySearch Tree when I die. What if someone leaves the group?

@Richard E Mason Yes all the information on your person profile (the person in you family group tree that represents you) is part of that tree person. That includes all memories and sources that are add/attached to your PID. On the event of death of a person in a family group tree, we expect that users will manually change the death vital from "living" to "deceased". At that point the person is now part of the FS public tree like all deceased persons. That means any FS user can view or edit that PID.
If you add a birth cert. to a living person in the group, you may want a family member to remove it before they are changed to deceased. If you are really worried about sharing your birth cert. with the public, you may NOT want to add it to a living person in the first place.
