How to Remove Yourself from FamilyTreeNow
FamilyTreeNow is a free genealogy and people search site that displays detailed personal information including family relationships, addresses, and birth records. Despite positioning itself as a genealogy tool, it functions as a powerful people search engine that reveals sensitive family connections. Opting out is easy and free.
FamilyTreeNow is just one of hundreds of sites selling your data. Even after you opt out here, your personal records will keep appearing on other data broker sites — often within weeks. Manually removing yourself from every site takes 20–30 hours and needs to be repeated constantly. Aura automatically removes your data from 100+ brokers and monitors for reappearance 24/7 — so you never have to do this again.
Let Aura Handle the Rest →What Data Does FamilyTreeNow Collect?
FamilyTreeNow collects names, dates of birth, current and historical addresses, phone numbers, family relationships (parents, siblings, children, spouses), marriage records, death records, property records, and estimated age. Their genealogical focus means they display family trees that can reveal relationships not shown on other people search sites.
Step-by-Step Opt-Out Instructions
- Go to https://www.familytreenow.com/optout
- Search for your name and select your state
- Find your record in the search results
- Click 'View Details' to confirm it is your record
- Click 'Opt Out This Record'
- Confirm the removal request
- Your record will be removed within 48 hours
What to Expect After Opting Out
FamilyTreeNow processes removals within 48 hours. Your profile will no longer appear in their search results or people finder tool. The genealogy records may take slightly longer to fully remove from all sections of the site.
Additional Tips
FamilyTreeNow displays family relationships that many other sites do not. Opt out here if you are concerned about people discovering your family connections. Consider asking family members to opt out as well, since their listings may still reveal your relationship.
Done with FamilyTreeNow? You're not done yet. There are hundreds of other data broker sites that still have your information. Instead of repeating this process manually for every one of them, Aura handles all removals automatically and keeps monitoring so your data stays off.
