    Hello @MtzWright, hopefully I'll be able to help you restore them, but its not the end of the world if not.

    Firstly, go to the next person on your tree and open up the page so you can see their info. On the right hand side, are many options. Scroll down to "Latest Changes". You should be able to see the things you've deleted. This is how you may be able to restore everyone.

    However, as all living people are private and are only seen by yourself, you may just need to add them as new people again without it causing any difficulties.

    I hope this helps!

    @MtzWright , it's hard to delete someone accidentally from Family Tree--so hopefully they're still there. It's possible you're just not seeing them. You may have accidentally disconnected a relationship, but that doesn't delete any individuals.

    Maybe the best place to start is to see if your own record is really deleted. On the second menu bar at the top of almost any Family Tree page, click Recents. You should be the first person listed on the dropdown. Here's what it looks like for me:

    You should see something similar. Click your name. Does it take you to your record?

    If it does, but you see a black banner saying PERSON DELETED, just click Restore Person. Again, here's an example:

    I hope that helps! Please let us know how it goes.
