Can you block someone on facebook without them knowing? I am reopening my account and want to block my cousin?

I want to block my cousins but don't want them to know I am blocking them. I just reopened my account after having it be closed for a long time. Thanks for the help

Just block them. It doesnt inform them. If they try and search you, you wont show up. Do it quick enough, and they wont know you ever turned the account back on.

Go to their wall, click on the gear button, click block and confirm it.They wont know you blocked them, they wont get any notification. But if you have commented on their post or messaged them then your name will show in black color.

Why don't you block Face book itself from your life?All problems and anxiety solved..if you are wise then you should do that..
