  • ancestry private trees

    can you still look for matches in private trees to message people? there's a family i want to message about, but the public tree is gone, and i can't figure out how to find the people in a private tree.

    any ideas?

    I think so - there is a little orange box with contact and the name of the tree owner - when you do a search for an individual and it comes up as a private tree

        Ancestry has two flavors of private:
        1) the tree's members remain indexed for searching; if a private tree shows up in a search, click on it, and that will take you to the orange box, and you can click on that.

        2) the tree is totally un-indexed; no member of the tree will appear when a search matches him/her.

        If you previously had a tree match but nothing now appears, I would suspect the latter. If you can remember the AncestryID you could still contact that member by the member connect
