Hi,

My sister's picture is being displayed in search engines and it needs to be removed for many reasons.  This was private and supposed to be private and now we removed the picture but it is still showing up.  Can someone please help????

  Since your sister had joined Geni, the privacy of the account falls to her and the default is to make the picture public.  This is not the case for non-members that are living.  To update your settings, you do so under privacy: https://www.geni.com/account_settings/profile_privacy

  Since it is removed from Geni, you just have to wait on Google.  They cache their search results to include pictures.  This cache expires regularly and the picture will go away on its own since it is no longer on the site.
