Totally self-serving question

I've been doing some genealogy work for a while now, and I've now at the point I've got missing cousins and near cousins popping out of the woodwork. Some of my extended family is really excited and asking to see their part of the family tree and all my notes.

My question is - what if you found some not so nice stuff? Like granpa spent some time in jail, or your favorite uncle lied about earning a purple heart in WWII? Would you want to know?

What about medical information? If your grandmother and all her siblings died with kidney problems or auto immune diseases would you want to know? or would it make you worry for no good reason?

How much should be told?
