Your teacher will not like my answer, which is this... many living persons have valid reasons for protecting what they consider to be private information, or a "family secret". Not that your gr grandma was wild, etc.. but the reality is that many women had children before marriage. Or dad was a scoundral or something else, and the mom chooses to protect the child.
I absolutely LOVE genealogy, and yes, it is a wonderful thing to have research skills. But with as many divorces as there are today, not to mention single parent families... I personally don't feel that it is always appropriate for a school assignment. It places many kids in an embarrassing position.
Great grandma has her reasons.. and as a long time researcher, it would frustrate me too. But I STRONGLY respect people's rights to share what information they choose. You are more than welcome to share what I believe with your teacher.
