Learn how to edit your profile...
It's important you understand what information you make visible/invisible and how to do it.
The following screens show you what you will see when you log in for the first time and how to edit your profile.
Please make note of Step 5 on how to edit the visibility of the information you input.
Step 1: Login
Go to the website and click on the Login button at the top of the screen
A pop up window will appear where you put in your username and password that you used when you joined the database.
Step 2: Now you're logged in
Now it's time to edit your profile
You should automatically be directed to your profile page. If not, click your icon at the top of the screen and select My Profile from the dropdown menu.
On your profile page you can edit your profile and add/change your Profile image if required.
Step 3: Upload a profile photo
If your profile just shows a default avatar, why not upload your own profile photo
Click 'Change Profile Photo' and follow the instructions to add your own image to your profile.
Maybe choose an image that you know the person looking for you may have? It's another way to verify if it's you someone could be looking for.
Step 4: Edit your profile details
Add crucial details to help get found when someone does a search on My Family Finder
Click on 'Edit' to add more details. We've added lots of fields to try and make it easier for those doing a search, so fill in as much information as you can - the more details you add, the more likely you'll be found.
Don't forget to click on Save Changes when you're done.
IMPORTANT!: As you input each piece of information please choose who can see these details - see the next step...
Step 5: Visibility of information...
Here you decide what details you make publicly available to view
We have left the decision of what to make publicly available to you - so please use it wisely. You decide what pieces of information can be seen by everyone (the public) or just you. With each field, please select either Everyone or Only Me.
We advise that you keep your current address and email address private at all times.
