Removing yourself, step by step
- 01
Create/log in to a free FamilySearch account.
- 02
Search Family Tree and Records for your name.
- 03
For your own living-person profile, confirm privacy settings restrict visibility.
- 04
For historical records naming you as a living person, open a Help Center case requesting redaction, citing the living-person removal policy article above.
- 05
For entries added by other users, request restriction via support (you cannot delete another user's contribution directly).
- 06
Follow up on the support case until confirmed.
Data brokers re-list. Check again in 30–60 days.
Re-listing risk for this site: Medium — other users can re-add you to their trees; new record collections can resurface entries
