Using RM7 I’ve designed a fact type that doesn’t need to be seen by anyone but me, yet it shows up when I’m matching a person to FamilySearch Family Tree. Is there any way to mark a fact as ALWAYS private so I don’t have to mark it each time? I don’t see a way to do that. TIA. Laurie Nelson

Laurie, who sees it when you match a person on FamilySearch Family Tree? Just you, or other people? Is it that you're uploading the tree with the private fact that you don't want anyone to see to FamilySearch? While I don't know specifically about privatizing facts, I've found that when privatizing people, if you don't privatize them three different times, three different ways, they display in an Ancestry tree. First you have to mark them "living". Then when exporting the GEDCOM to upload to Ancestry, you have to check privatize living people. But if you don't go further they'll still show up. You ADDITIONALLY have to check both boxes telling it not to display certain information ABOUT the living people, such as, like, their names and birthdates - like you know, the people, who you've already privatized, twice. (While I can dimly understand a possible distinction between setting people as living and privatizing them, if there's any other reason to mark them as living, I've no clue why you would need to specifically mark not to display the names and birth dates of the people you've already said to treat as private.) Perhaps it is similar with private facts?

There is no option to exclude a fact type or any specific fact from being displayed in the FamilySearch Person Tools display under My RootsMagic Person. Nor is there any distinguishing characteristic in this display for facts marked Private. To exclude a fact type from FamilySearch Person Tools would require an additional option in the Edit Fact Type dialog window - a checkbox for "Include in FamilySearch Person Tools". You may want to post this to the Wish List.
