Click on "Messages" in the teal bar at top, then "My contacts" in left margin.
There's a column in the display "Access to their tree". Your rellie's should be there with a "View" and a check mark next to it - click on that.

You should have an e-mail from him on here saying he's opened his tree to you. At the top of it, it will say his tree is available to view and there should be a thing to click on there.

Or, open your own tree, then find the drop down menu at the top and his name should come up in the list. Click on his name and you should get his tree.

My uncle has given me permission to access his family tree, how do I actually view the tree?
