Family Group Trees are a new type of family group that lets families work together in Family Tree. In a Family Group Tree, group participants can add or modify information about the same living persons within the same tree. This includes being able to add and view memories and sources—everything you can do now with deceased persons. In a Family Group Tree, all group members can see and edit all of the same people, including living people.
With Family Group Trees, we hope to provide FamilySearch users with several important benefits:
Connect your living family. Foster unity.
Gather your family into a group and see the same pedigree. Involve your family in navigating their family history as a team. Enrich your history with photos, stories, and sources.
Share and protect.
Share memories and milestones while they are still fresh and protect everyone’s online privacy.
Leave a legacy.
Ensure that future generations of your family can access this information to learn about your life.
