Hi Eileen,
I've made contact with a couple of people who have private trees on Tribal Pages. They've emailed me the password, so I've been able to see their trees. I've also made contact with one person whose ggg grandad had the same name and yob as mine, but different parents, who didn't send me his password.

I thought the process worked well from my end, and, disregarding content, the trees there were quite satisfactory.

Hi Eileen, I have my tree on Tribal Pages (just google). You can have a basic tree free, or pay a subscription for a tree with photos etc. You can opt to have your tree "locked", so that you can control who sees it, or open to all. I have found it very user friendly. I started with the free version then upgraded to the next step up. Hope this info is useful, cheers, Moiramary.

Can anyone give any advice about putting my tree on another site as well as GR.

I am a member of ancestry.com and i like the idea of being able to make my tree public or keep it private.
I also have some credits for find my past but i don't know if the trees are private or public on this site.

Any advice would be appreciated.
Eileen
