How do I find among all the contacts - over 26 pages of them - people who I have allowed to view my tree please. There is one particular person who has stolen all my people and I want to make sure he cannot access my tree as new info goes on it. It will take a lifetime to go through them one by one.

Hi Heather Used to be easy, just click the 'shared trees' link, but that doesn't seem to work anymore. The only way I have managed to do it is to open my family tree and then use the drop down box of 'shared trees' to find the person I'm looking for - if that makes sense!!!!! regards Trudy

Hi, Heather, I've just clicked on 'shared trees' and it brings up a list of contacts and tick boxes where you can tick (or untick) 'Let them see your tree'. Hope that helps. Maureen

Try sorting them into date order.............if you know roughly when the contact occurred, that might simplify the task.......... 'Shared trees' is less than useless...... it is merely a duplicate of the contacts list!! Reg

Heather go toyour messages. Then click on your contacts. If you have given anyone permissions to view your tree, then there will be a tree instead of a box in that column. Just a case of scrolling thru, and stopping each time you see a tree, to see if it's that person. Alsoin your contacts they are arranged alphabetically, so if you know his name you can jump almost striaght to it.

Thanks people, I dont know if its me but I have over 65 pages of contacts (probably more - they only show that many). Ive tried date order and cant see them, Ive tried name but it has yet to come up in the right alphabetical order. Ridiculous situation that you cant just enter to find out who has access to your tree, isnt it. Looby Ive done that drop down trees thing but having found the person, there is no way to delete him!

Decided only one way - Ive got to page 27 of contacts and found him and have now deleted him before he realises I have more people he can add on to his tree. Amusingly without the lot he stole from me he has about 50! He has ones from mine that are so distant from him as to have no relevance whatsoever. Thanks everyone

Ouch Heather. Before deleting him I'd be inclined to back up my tree. Then I'd put some total twaddle in it, you know, Mickey Mouse,totally wrong dates,the odd royal for good measure etc.I'd then tell him I'd added some new relations and if he gave me his e-mail addy I'd send the new gedcom. Vindictive, me? never :-)
