It might be worth considering that genealogical sources generally prohibit even naming anyone still living in "official" records, and government sources follow similar practices. Of course those who post at sites like Ancestry or FindAGrave often do make casual references to their living correspondents, but the potential for liabilies if someone objects may be quite high.

Especially in small towns, sensitivities about "the elders" can be bizarre. In my own home town, the sexton for the cemetary where several members of my own family, including parents and grandparents, are buried has refused to allow us to look at the cemetary records "because people don't like anyone prying." (The sexton at the time was one of my own first cousins, known since we were both kids.) Since the registry is legally a "public record" that anyone should be able to examine, this kind of "obstruction" is completely irrational; but we found it easier to take a walk around the cemetary and just take pictures of all the markers we were interested in.

Similar "attitudes" were found for several other cemetaries, and for some other kinds of "public records" that should be easily available but aren't.

The history may be good, but the people may be really peculiar, even if they appear to be quite ordinary when you meet them around town.
