Hi Beverley, from help on Ancestry, if you click on help, type private tree in the keyword search box that comes up, you will see on the left hand side, Article number 7, " How to hide your personal member tree.


From the Ancestry.com Home page hover your cursor over the Family Tree tab without clicking.

A drop down box will appear, select the tree that you wish to hide

Select the Tree Settings tab located on the tool bar below your tree title.

Select the Privacy Settings tab

Select the Private Tree radio button

Check the box next to "Also prevent your tree from being found in the search index"

Click the Save Changes button

Note: Although your tree will instantly become private, it usually takes about a week, sometimes longer, to be reflected in the search index

Hi Beverley,

You go into your tree and then click on tree settings and then privacy settings and then you should be able to change it to private tree.

Kind regards,

Cathy
