I changed Virginia M Woerner to the black unlisted privacy setting a few days ago.  I queried her as I am looking to see if she has a death date anywhere

What I saw was this:https://www.google.com/search?safe=active&rlz=1C1NHXL_enUS687US687&biw=854&bih=724&ei=twL6WsCrHOuVjwSl_7PoDA&q=%22Virginia+M+Woerner%22+1932&oq=%22Virginia+M+Woerner%22+1932&gs_l=psy-ab.3...13855.22023.0.22354.7.7.0.0.0.0.207.894.0j6j1.7.0....0...1.1.64.psy-ab..0.1.124...33i160k1.0.j2MRT9Of09Y

Virginia M Woerner 1930s Privacy Level: Private (Red) .... William Frederick Woerner 20 Aug 1864 St. Louis, St. Louis, Missouri, USA - 27 Jun 1932.

But it is clearly a black privacy setting

What does this mean in facing the new privacy laws?

WHICH country has which laws about Privacy is also a consideration.

ALSO Google has cache files and those are sometimes available when the now-time file is not available

I clicked on the above URL -- Virginia also listed in the 1940 Census, parents and all and listed as a KOENIG descendant on google.

Hard to hide someone when they are plastered "all over" the internet.

Google takes longer to update then we do. It should disappear soon.

Thanks Eowyn,  I wanted to make sure it was at their end and not ours!

Good news is I found an obit for her she died in 2014 and I just updated her profile and reset the privacy now to open.
