What can people outside the family see?
Only a small preview when you send them a link. A living relative shows as a name and a face, and none of it appears in search results.
For everyone · Updated September 27, 2026
A person's page or a keepsake. Tap Share to send a link. Someone outside the family sees only a small preview:
- Someone living: their name and face.
- Someone who has died: their name, face and years.
- A keepsake: its name and one picture.
Everything else stays inside the family.
The whole tree. Households on the plan can make one private tree link:
- Living people: it shows names only.
- Never included: stories, voice notes, sources and health notes.
- Turning it off: making a new link turns the old one off.
Search engines. None of these pages show up in search results.
