Cleaning-up Living and Confidential Records

These are records that you have created that are hidden from everyone else.
In other words, you are the only person who can clean them up.
And this process only works in the Family Tree mobile app, at present.

In the app, tap the main menu, then tap My Contributions, then Private Persons. This will bring up a  list of "the top 200 results", I then tap a person's name if they were born over 100 years ago or if they have no birth date. I can then examine the information on them, their spouse and parents and determine whether to add information or mark the person as deceased. From their Person screen I can also search for historical records of the person in question.


MyContributions has lots of other information. If you are a long-time user of FamilySearch you may be surprised to see the statistics for your contributions!
