Will strangers find my tree through matches?

No – there are no public trees here. Other families can only find a name on your tree if your owner switches on Anonymous search, and even then they never see your tree; they only learn a shared ancestor might be there.

Where to find it

  • Settings (bottom row of the top bar, far right) → Your family tree → Anonymous search

    Only the tree owner and super users.

On a phone: if the Settings tabs are tucked away, press ☰ Menu (top left) first.
