I am a volunteer helping with De Ruvigny's Roll of Honour. The individual above was a UK soldier who died in Gallipoli in WW I. His bio is in the Roll of Honour and added to his Memories. He has many other sources and is listed in his family. There is no reason for him to be a "Confidential Person." Can this be changed?

    @SusanO I looked up a couple of articles on Confidential persons. I hope this helps you.

    Do confidential people in Family Tree ever become public?

    September 19, 2022

    In some instances, confidential people become public and visible to all tree users. This change occurs 150 years after the confidential person’s birth. If the record lacks a birth date, we make the change 150 years after the person’s death. Some confidential people remain confidential indefinitely.

    If you need more help about this issue, please contact FamilySearch Support. For fastest response, prepare to provide this information:

    • Ancestor's names.
    • Birth and death information.
    • Person identifier numbers from Family Tree.
    • Your relationship to the deceased ancestor.
    • Your username and helper number
