Yes, and as SatNav suggests, just tested logging my second account into the .za site and it doesn't conflict with the .com login already open with my first account.

Yes, this should work. The reason being that the cookie which contains your log-in details also has the site web address incorporated in it, so you could associate different account log-ns with each of the GR sites.

However, whilst you can log on several times to the same web addresses, you can only do so for the same account.

PS, yes ditto two or three at the same time for me too. Just tested and if I log one of them into my alternative account, it also updates all the other pages I have open next time I go and try to use them to the same account.

I never log in or out.
I could create and access five different memberships at the same time,simply by using a different genes address.
Genes Reunited Australia Genes Reunited New Zealand Genes Reunited South Africa Genes Reunited International
PS
I sometimes have two or three windows,of the same account,open at the same time and they do not clash.

To register as a different member, click on the Sign Out link in the top right of the site and then click on Register Now Free and fill in all of the new member's details - the boxes will be blank initially.

When using a shared PC, it is important that each member logs off so as not to overwrite the other person’s details the next time they log in to Genes Reunited. A way to ensure this is by unchecking the remember password indicator when you enter your login details.

Once set up, your sister could also log in from her own PC using the log-in you have created.

Sylvia

If you would like her to access the tree online, which she won't be able to do on here unless she subscribes, then I would suggest putting her tree on Tribal Pages.

http://www.tribalpages.com/

You can set up a free tree and give her online access to it by way of a password.

Hi,

I am sure I have read on one of the threads that it is possible to work on an additional tree.

I have my sister and her husband on my tree, and she has asked if I would try and work back his line.
I thought I would be nice if I could do this seperately as well as incorporate this into my tree.
I appreciate it will mean entering details twice, but at least its only one lot of research.
Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.

Thankyou.
