How to remove yourself from FamilyTreeNow

Last checked October 14, 2026

FamilyTreeNow publishes names, addresses, phone numbers and relatives to anyone who searches. You can ask it to take your listing down. Here's exactly how, as of October 14, 2026.

Opt-out page: familytreenow.com/optout
You'll need: Email address, Name, city, state and birth year (to find the record)
How long: Not published.
Can it come back?: Possible.

Step by step

Enter your email on the opt-out page and pass the CAPTCHA.
Search for your record and press the opt-out button on it.
Click the link in the verification email. Some guides describe a second form after that link which asks for details to match against the listing.

Good to know

Don't hand over extra details like a phone number unless you can't find the record without them.
The site blocks visitors from outside the US, so these steps come from current removal guides rather than the page itself.

Then get it out of Google too

Opting out removes the listing from FamilyTreeNow, but Google can keep showing an old copy for a while. Google's Results about you tool lets you ask for those results to be dropped, and it can tell you when new ones appear.

How we checked this

familytreenow.com blocks visitors from outside the US, so we couldn't read its opt-out page directly. The steps above are cross-checked against several removal guides updated in 2026, and we've left out details they disagree on. If the form looks different when you get there, follow what the page says.
