a few questions about facebook privacy?

[Jessi.0 ❤ Mr. Alois]

i got rid of my facebook awhile ago because of some family drama that happened and i dont want pretty much anyone in my family to be friends with me on facebook this time now that i have made a new one. i just want to be friends with my friends and maybe a few relatives.

now if i put my page on private, can people who are friends with those relatives see that i have a profile? i dont even want them to see that i have a facebook.

and will people be able to search for me? what about will i show up in the people you might know section?

i just really want to avoid certain people and if i cant then i dont want to have facebook. thank you
