I have just uploaded my DNA from another site but do not want to appear by name. Please put initials instead JP for Jean PETREL . Thank you.
Je viens de télécharger mon ADN D'un autre site. Pouvez-vous ne faire apparaître que mes initiales JP au lieu du nom merci. Jean PETREL

Unfortunately, the name can't be changed. You must remove your DNA data then upload it again and enter a public name instead of your full name.

Hi Claudine,

If your suggestion is for me to set the individual setting to "default", thank you, but I do usually leave them at default. I will also make some public for older people who have died. Your earlier post said you could see many living people who were public in my tree, which worries me. I don't see that. Can you give me an example of a living person?

Thank you for your help!
Cherie

Hello Cherie,

Try this one: Deleted

Thanks, Claudine, that was one that had been set to public in error. I've corrected it. This exersize has forced me to learn the advanced search feature and am now looking at and correcting the cases that I have set in error. Can you look at this one however:

I don't understand why it is showing up public. It was set to default and "alive".

Thanks again for your help!

I can see her too...

I have corrected all the errors that I could find. Here are a few questionable cases that I don't see why they are showing public:

These are set to default:
https://gw.geneanet.org/cherie_w?lang=en&n=barnes&p=shirley
https://gw.geneanet.org/cherie_w?i=32775&lang=en&m=MOD_IND&nz=harvat&pz=ava
These are set to Private (I have very few I've ever checked "Private"):

Three of the links don't work for me as they're links to Edit pages which only you can see.

To know what other people can see on your tree: go to the bottom of any page of your tree, next to the "Language" drop down, there's "Access Rights": set it to "visitor" and you will see if this page is visible by others.
If the person can be seen by plain visitors, you will have to change the individual setting from Default to Private.

And don't forget to reset your Access Rights to "admin" when you're finished

I've just checked your page of individuals born after 1920, it seems almost all errors have been corrected: only two without a death date might still be alive:

https://gw.geneanet.org/cherie?lang=en&p=katybeth&n=breitenberg

https://gw.geneanet.org/cherie?lang=en&p=nolan&n=moon (no birth date but his father was born in 1930)

I've noticed a few strange facts in your tree: some people were baptized at a very old age (one was 100!)

Claudine, you are teaching me a lot. Thank you! I fixed the two you caught. These people are marked "default" but is still visible when I'm in "visitor" mode.

P.S. I only cleaned up from 1925 to present. And I will have to do a cleanup on the other years and the baptisms another day. Thank you for point out my problem with them.

Warmest,
Cherie

Hi,
I'd liked every data related to me, and the constructed family tree removed from the website, as I and the rest of the family never gave any permission for publishing this data.

I don't even know the person who made the tree.

Kind regards, Jimmy HAYAT
