Hi All,
I'll like to be able to link from other sites to my tree on Genes Reunited. Can anyone tell me how to get the URL/web address?

Thanks!
John

Hi John

As far as I know, you can't do it. People can only access your tree is you specifically give them permission so if there was a link on other sites, people would be able to access without permission being granted.

Sam is right but what you could do is set up a free or paid tree on Tribal Pages.

www.tribalpages.com

You can privatise it or leave it open to all but whichever way you chose you can give other people direct access.

It is easy to upload a copy of your tree from here and download it to Tribal....Or is it the otherway around? I can never remember which is up and down!!

Chris.........LOL UP-load is when YOU send it..........INTO another machine.....
DOWN-load is when you draw it out.

Thanks Bob

I think I have one of those mental blocks with it......Like knowing my left from my right :)))

Chris

Thanks Sam Chris and Bob.
Oh heck - I could have sworn that I made my tree 'public'. Am I thinking of my Ancestry.co.uk one...?

I'd been hoping that anyone anywhere could find my tree and feel free to view it.

John

It wasn't here that you made your tree public, there isn't that option.

Certainly on Ancestry you have the choice of going 'public' or keeping a tree private, so it must be that site you are thinking of.

Chris

Ah right Chris. Thanks.

You know, I did a search for an ancestor and he never showed up in the results - even though I have him in my tree. Do you think the search excludes 'own trees'? It makes sense to do that, but it shook my confidence a little in the system.

Actually, don't answer that... I'll log out and try it again.

Searches you make on GR exclude your own tree.
