Is it possible to email my family tree to an aunt of mine? If so, how do I do it? Many thanks Micheline

Is it on GR ? If so you could just give her access to it if she's registered. Jacky

You could both get the free PAF 5 from the Latter Day Saints. It is pretty good. Then download from GR (if that is the only place you have a tree) and email the GED file. Both load GED files into your (new) tree programme. Clive

One of the features of Personal Ancestral File (which you can download for nothing) is that it can create a simple website based on your tree that you can put on a CD and send to anyone you like. The site pages are viewed in a web browser (but from a local source, rather than the internet), and has the advantage that you don't have to install any software to view it. An alternative to CD, these days, is a low capacity USB pen drive. My local supermarket (!) now sells them for around £5. Tribal Pages is a practical alternative. You can have a free site, and give anyone you like a visitor password to view whatever you choose to import, just using an ordinary web browser. (The result is more user friendly too that a PAF generated website). TP has several shortcomings (not least the truly dreadful technical support, which makes GR look professional - ha ha), but you get what you pay for. Strictly, in the case of TP that's not true, because if you upgrade your site to a pay-site (for additional features), you STILL have to put up with the shortcomings and the truly dreadful technical support. That's life!

If you have Family Tree Maker, you can export it to a pdf file and then send as an attachment in an email, thats what I do when I keep sending my relative an updated version. Hope that helps. Marilyn

Hi I've just been able to see a tree by being registered free as a guest on the GENOPRO site. I guess the person with the tree must have a paid membership?? Liz

Titus Astonished to hear you say TP Technical support is dreadful - I have the highest praise for them! They have answered my (few) queries the same day and in a way which addresses the problem and makes me think they have actually read my email! OC
