Member Since: April 2004 Posts: 4 Send Message	i can't seem to link my tree with one of my relatives' one. I have her permission to view it so why is this? Can anyone help me?

Member Since: April 2004 Posts: 4 Send Message	It appears my tree is, in fact, linked, meaning there is a button in 1 person's box. Is there any way I can paste my relative's far more substantial tree onto mine?
