I recently deleted one of my trees on familytrees.genopro.com

Google is still indexing many of the individual names, apparently because your site does not return 404 errors (but what do I know?). Some of my living relatives are complaining that they can still see dates of birth in the Google search results. This was my fault for not hiding these details when I uploaded the tree. I told them that next time Google crawled the site they would be removed, but perhaps I am mistaken. Please advise.

How long ago did you deleted your publication?  It takes a while for Google to remove deleted pages from its index, up to 6 weeks.

If your publication was deleted long time ago, I will investigate how re-write robots.txt with special instructions as described at

Our server return the 404 error which mean page not found:

Display your other publication but the real return code is a 404.

You must email Google and request your pages be removed from their search pages, this will get them deleted within a few days (my experience, they do not guarantee this time frame).
