You can privatize a single individual in a tree that you created in the Family Tree Builder software. Once you sync this tree with your family site, individuals whom you set as private in Family Tree Builder will be privatized online too.
In order to privatize specific individuals in your tree in Family Tree Builder, please do the following:
1. Open your tree in Family Tree Builder software on your computer.
2. Find the individual whom you would like to privatize. Click on ‘Edit’ to edit the person’s details.
3. Go to the ‘More’ tab and make sure to check the option ‘This person is private’ (as in the picture below).
Sync your tree with your site. All your site members and site managers, including you, should now see that individual as ‘Unknown’ on your family site. Not only the first names will be private, but all other information of the person including date of birth, last name, and gender (the card will be gray instead of the regular blue or pink).
You can also apply privacy settings not only to people but to facts, notes, and sources in Family Tree Builder.
Note: We no longer support MyHeritage Family Tree Builder on Mac, and it's no longer available for download on Mac devices.
