  You can make your profile information public in your account settings. Deceased profiles are public by default. Living family members can not be made public, but you can invite family members into your tree where they'll be able to see it.

  I've Added 133 Family Members 5 years ago & just discovered today that All the Profiles are Private.

  How do I make them Public Please  ??

  It's really a Radical kind of Dumb for Only my Immediate Family to be able see who these people are - I was hoping to have a few Collaborations on the Extended Family Tree with Relatives I don't have Contact with.

  In my case is almost the same. I added myself, and some alive and passed away realtives form part of one big famous three which will be good if every person could see it with shared link. When I share the link i can not see me and alive realtives...I red about that but for me is non sense alive people to be private.
  Could you please help me! Is there an option alive persons to be shown? Except to change to "deceased"?
  Thanks!

  i also have the same problem.

  I have input many genealogies up to the first generation in 1300 but I can't edit public for my family where they are still alive, it makes hard for my family who can't access this site on their name to be able to search on google

  Hi Dharmart, it is our privacy policy that all living people are private. If a person is a user, they may control their own privacy settings to decide what they want public about themselves. The only exception is for Master Profiles, which are public. If the person is a public figure, such as a celebrity, then a curator may make the profile a Master Profile.

  If you would like your relatives to view the tree, then you can simply invite them to claim their profile. Enter their email address on their profile page to send an invitation. Once they accept the invite, they will be able to see and edit the family tree.
