How do I delete a tree?

Currently, "deleting" a tree from a site means simply removing access to the tree from that given myfamily.com site. The tree itself continues to exist on ancestry.com--and will until the owner goes to Ancestry.com directly and deletes the tree.

To delete a tree from your myfamily.com site:

1. Click on the 'Trees' tab to view a list of trees on the site.

2. Click on the 'Delete' link.

3. All of the trees that you have permission to delete will have a checkbox on their left. Select the trees you want to delete and click on the 'Continue' button.

4. A confirmation message will appear, verifying that you'd really like to delete the tree(s). If so, click on the 'Delete' button to delete the trees from your myfamily.com site.

To delete a tree from ancestry.com:
