Can I create a private family tree on Ancestry.com?

Asked a year ago
Yes, you can create a private family tree on Ancestry.com. Privacy settings are available to ensure that only invited individuals can view and contribute to your tree. By default, living people in your family tree are marked as private to protect their personal information. You have full control over who can see and edit your tree by inviting specific family members or granting access to selected Ancestry.com users. You can also choose to make your tree completely public or searchable but still control the level of access others have. Ancestry.com prioritizes the security and privacy of your family tree, giving you the flexibility to customize the privacy settings according to your preferences and safeguard your family's information.
