	Apparently they still show up when you look at your tree, but if you give someone else access to your tree, then they don't show up for them. I think that's how it works anyway. Kath,. x

	Hi Ann I think contacts will see them on your tree as Living Surname with date and place of birth so not completely hidden. Heather
