One of my cousins is listed in census information on this site but isn't listed as a child in her parent's tree. How do I fix this? I attached a document with parts of screen shots. Thanks.

    Is she living? Living persons are not included in the public Family Tree.

    One way you can protect the privacy of living persons and also avoid creating a public page for them by mistake is to click Dismiss beside the message about Unfinished Attachments. Dismiss does not remove any information, it merely hides the information from the Source list.

    If this person is alive, they will show in your tree if you are related and connected but will not show with the same ID in any other family member's tree. They should be added to the tree if the source is correct. The article below explains privacy for living people.
