When you use the "search trees" tab at the top it doesn't bring up the names in your own tree.

Researching:
Great grandmother Dorothy Bean nee Abbott (1858-1908)

I believe so. Do you want to give me a name and I'll see if I can see it?

Great grandmother Dorothy Bean nee Abbott (1858-1908)

yep others will be able to see the names if they do a search.

However I suggest making sure you have the permission of the living individuals in your tree to have their details unhidden on your tree.

Researching:
Ashford-Smith, Smith, Clarke - England and Scotland, Anderson & Marr - Midlothian & East Lothian, Bennett - Devonport, Catleugh & Shiells - East Lothian, Cullen & Dowling - Waterford, Ireland, Littlejohns - Plymouth & London, Mansfield - Benfleet & St Pancras, Michelin - London, Newlands - Midlothian & Fife, Paterson - Canongate, Midlothian, Paulin - Northumberland, Rutherford - Roxburghshire, Taylor - East Lothian & Berwickshire, Thomson - Leith & Muthill, Thorney - Herefordshire, Small - Northumberland,
