Kate The only effective way to completely hide living relatives, is to change their names to living male and living female. Or don't open your tree! OC

Their names, places of birth and year born are still available for everyone to see when using the search facility. Rose

Hi Kate, I think the names will still show up if someone does a search for a particular name, but will not show up if you give someone access to your tree. I'm sure if I'm wrong, someone will let us know. Kath. x

Go to 'My Account Details' on the left of the screen and after entering your password, it will take you to a page with 'My Personal Details'. At the bottom of that section there is a place where it asks if you want to hide living relatives. Just click yes. You will still be able to see them, but others will not. Kath. x
