Can anyone advise how I can have 2 trees open on 2 separate tabs? Every time I have my own tree open and then attempt to open another to which I have been given access (in order to compare them), my own original tree is cancelled and overwritten with the other tree. Help!!!

Try opening your browser a second time, and work in two windows?

To have more than one tree open proceed as follows:-

* Open the first tree by clicking on the Family Tree button.

* Open the second tree by pointing to the Family Tree button and right clicking "open in new tab" (or "Open in new window", if you prefer)

* Select the second tree (which will be yours, at this stage) then change to the persons that you want by selecting from the drop down, top right.

Optionally, repeat steps two and three until you run out of trees to open.....!
