2. Find the record and delete it
UnMask will do a search for all matching records and bring you the results. You will need to pick your specific record out of that list. You may verify whether it is your record or not by taking a look at the location, age, relative matches, and address history. After verifying, you may hit on the red colored button named “Delete Record”.
