been in the web biz for almost 8 years now... here me out...

a) the site: great idea! we also have a family tree on the web. there's not much to it, it's truly a family tree layout. we'd like to have more photos, but there's only so much time in the day.
b) password protection: silly idea, but certainly not difficult to do for someone who is web-savy. but again, silly idea. read on.
c)web privacy: in short, nobody cares about your family. i hate to sound so blunt, but there aren't people running around researching your family so that they can profit/harm/rip-off/steal/blame/accuse/scapegoat/slander. i would however, refrain from using home addresses, phone numbers and porn. well, keep the porn if you wanna drive traffic ;)
i imagine you'll only give this address to family members. there'll be no monetary transactions, right?
the problem lies in convincing someone who isn't web-literate that the web isn't the worst place to have your identity revealed. rather, public records in city hall, giving some 16 year old your credit card at the grocery store and giving your zip code at radio shack ;)
it's next to impossible to convince people otherwise. i wish you the best, but nothing proves safety like a safe track record, which requires time and a live website.
good luck either way!
