I'm currently working on some sensitive info and the records are building up. Can I create an entirely private tree. Ancestry shows some info. Not sure about FMP. Thanks
In the privacy settings there is a box you can tick but there is a proviso: "Note: although your tree will instantly become public or private, it usually takes about a month or more to be reflected in the search index."

I've checked Ancestry and although I can create a private tree, some basic info is still shown. The mother's name is unusual. Thanks
Thanks. I will look into those Val. Seem to remember having my tree on My Heritage way back. Tribal pages looks good. I will check their privacy settings.

Looked again and see that I can tick box to ensure nothing comes up in search as you said Jill. Will omit surname in the first instance. Thanks
I’ve a funny feeling that if you search for someone in a tree that you have on your account, you don’t ever find yourself or the people in it as results. You would need to get another account holder to use their account to search just make sure.
Kat has tested it out for me. Nothing revealed. Opting for a Private Tree and ticking the Prevent being seen in any searches has worked. As pointed out changes may take one month to kick in but this was a new tree.
