Email us at contact@openpasts.com.

We welcome corrections, especially about record access rules, which change. Tell us the page and the correct information, with a source if you have one.

If an old search result still shows a page from this domain with your name on it, write to us. That page no longer exists, and we'll confirm it in writing so you can show it to a search engine or anyone else who asks. You don't need to send us any personal documents to do this.

We can't research individual families for you, look up records about anyone, or give legal advice. For help clearing a criminal record, a legal aid organization in your state is the best first call.

We use your email address only to reply. See the privacy page.
