Removing yourself, step by step
- 01
Review the current data-rights contact on the privacy/cookie policy page.
- 02
Submit a GDPR Subject Access/erasure request (typically via a privacy contact address linked from the privacy policy — verify the exact address, as it may have changed post-Ancestry acquisition).
- 03
Identify the specific record or family-tree entry and your relationship to it.
- 04
Await the statutory response (~1 month under UK GDPR).
Data brokers re-list. Check again in 30–60 days.
Re-listing risk for this site: Low for historical archival records; user-submitted family trees can be re-added by other members
