Can I share access to living and confidential people in Family Tree?

Share

To share access to living and confidential people in Family Tree, create a family group tree:

  1. Create a family group, and turn on the option to add a family group tree.
  2. Create the family group tree. Make sure the family group tree contains a profile for all of the users who need to access it.
  3. Invite users into the group.

Here are some tips as you work with family group trees:

  • Each user can keep the living and confidential people in both a private tree (the FamilySearch Tree) and in family group trees. The family group tree will contain a copy with a different ID.
  • The copy in the family group tree will be visible to all group members. The private one remains visible only to the user who created it.
  • When you change one copy, the change does not get automatically made to the other.
  • After a person dies, family members should:
    • Add the death information to their private record.
    • Add the death information to the shared copy in the family group tree.
    • Merge the duplicates.
