Hi
I have been called by a cousin who has some homework to do on fmaily history and instead of trying to explain it all to her, I was wondering if there was any way I could let her view my tree without her being a member of genesreunited?

Is this possible, many thanks in advance

Victoria, try a temporary change of password. You can always change back later if you so wish.

You could download a gedcom file of your tree from GR
(it's worth doing that anyway as a backup)

your cousin could then download it on to their pc with free software such as

I'd go with the tribal pages option. You can customise your tree, print out charts and, heaven forbid, have cousins marrying, unlike GRs tree.

Comes in handy if you've got ancestors from Suffolk. No offence meant to anyone from Suffolk, a lot of mine come from there and I haven't found any cousins intermarrying yet. Only sons marrying their stepmothers siblings!

Many thanks for that, I will definately log into tribal and download onto there, especially useful knowing about the cousins thing as it seems alot of the ancestors on my mum's side liked to marry first and second cousins, so useful to know GR wont let you show that.

Hi
just to let you know I downloaded a Gedcom file and have decided to load it into geni.com which seems to do the job. Thanks for all the help
