Dont try and find the person on the tree itself click on the view relations Find the name you are interested in and follow the link to the tree from that page it shows you the piece of the tree you are interested in. A lot of this reseach is wading through records to find the bit of info you are interested in. its like panning for gold, most of the time its worthless pebbles you find but just occasionally you find a nugget

I'm new to this game, but have been given access to someones tree. Despite trying and trying it seems that because this persons tree is so big and the site is so busy I may never be able to actually view the tree. What's the point?!!
