Can someone please advise how to connect my wife's family tree(Hubble) that had been created by a member of her sister-in-law's family to my family tree (Woodlands) thanks. Gordon Woodlands

Hi Gordon, I think you have to send the other person who created your wife's familys tree and e-mail after finding the connecting person via Quick Search. Then in the "Your Contacts" feature you should be able to create the link. Hope it works for you Janet

It looks to me as though this feature is not provided. I have logged a request with support to ask how to do it and they have so far failed to reply. If this is true, then I think this is potentially a serious shortfall in functionality, especially as they lead you to believe that you will be able to make connections before they get your money off you. Perhaps one of the site owners would care to comment? A workaround would be to make an export of one of the trees and then import it to the other account, although that would overwrite all your hard work.

I was wondering about this as well. It looks like you can make a connection "through" the site, but not "on" the site. So you can find someone whose tree connects, and then share information (connect) off-site via email, ged or whatever. However could be wrong. Another thing which I found weird was that if my g-g-g-grandfather was entered, and he had lots of kids, he could be entered on the site by a dozen or more people. So that is dozens of records that all appear when you do a name-search, for the same person..

I don't know what's going on here, but I've spent (WASTED!) the last three and a half hours trying to find how to link to my brothers family tree (after deleting all of mine as there seemed no way to change my Mum to being his or saying it's the same person or anything!) ... I don't think this is very user-friendly! Anyone have any headache pills? :-( (I'm now trying to find some sort of tracking option on this board ... guess there's not even one of those, and it's gonna get buried with loads of non-site related stuff ... why are you people allowing this to happen here ... can't you ask them to go elsewhere or setg up a chat?!) :-((

For anyone else with that problem (tracking, there is a button (not where you expect to find it tho!) ... Now "You are currently viewing Your Threads Only"
