Good day Eckhard, I fully sympathise with you and the frustration you must feel at getting your relatives to contriubute. I made a big breakthrough when we celebrated my mother's 80th birthday. We rented a banquet hall (during February - cold here in Canada, so cheap rent and food), printed out both sides of the family each in a 2.5 metre chart and I blew up 12 pictures from the early 1900s which we also put up on the wall. I got a great response and had two aunts volunteer to help. As for collaboration on line, when I uploaded my file, the people that asked to "help" I received no help and found that the information was shared with others. I knew this because there were errors in the file that I was well aware of. If you are looking for a site, there is http://www.ancestry.com with a German site at http://www.ancestry.de/ As for keeping control of your database, once you put it out there, that's it.
