What FamilyTreeNow shows about you
FamilyTreeNow can show your home address, phone number, relatives, age and address history. FamilyTreeNow presents itself as a genealogy site but shows living people's current addresses, phone numbers and relatives for free, which made it controversial when it launched.

FamilyTreeNow: frequently asked questions
Is it free to remove yourself from FamilyTreeNow?
Yes. FamilyTreeNow's opt-out is free. You never need to buy a report or a subscription to remove your information.
How long does FamilyTreeNow take?
FamilyTreeNow doesn't publish a timeframe. Search again after a few days, and follow up if your information is still there after two weeks.
Will my information come back on FamilyTreeNow?
It can. FamilyTreeNow keeps adding records from public and commercial sources, so a new listing can appear after a move, a new phone number or a data refresh. Check again every few months.
Does removing myself from FamilyTreeNow remove me from Google?
Not right away. Google can show an old snippet until it recrawls the page. Once the FamilyTreeNow page is gone, you can ask Google to refresh the result. See our Google removal guide.
