I asked the question about copying from a rellies treeto mine http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards/board/suggestions/thread/1307363

Now I have 'half' the answer which may help others.

Click on any name in your rellies tree.
At the bottom of the square you will see 2 links - Details and copy.
Click on Copy and the name will go to your clipboard.
As before you can only copy 5 names and the CB is full (tried it to confirm)
Add a sibling with intention of pasting the info.

What happened next - there is no Paste option on the clipboard or anywhere else I can see.
Tried it by changing the option to add a child.
Still the same no Paste option.

Well I never - wonder at times if I'm loosing my marbles. :-| :-|

Update: Heard from GR - here's the other half - there is no paste option. Bit long winded but here goes: -

With the people copied to your clipboard from your rellie tree go back to your own tree
Add a person ie. Partner/Sibling/Child - last name will appear
Don't bother adding anything else.
If child make sure you select the correct parents
Make sure you have the correct gender
Save

Next go back to the saved person and open the details box
Go to your clickboard and double click on the name you want to add.
This will bring up options you can copy from the clip board to your tree
You can select all from the top or add them one by one.

Think I have got the correct sequence. Have managed to copy 5 names successfully

Hope this is useful to somebody
:-D :-D

If you go into Help, above, and then Family Tree, the dropdown menu includes Clipboard and it tells you how to do what you are trying to do.

...But you still can't copy rellies within your own tree like you used to be able to do with the good old tree! :-(

For problems with GR it has become clear ( to me ) you will have no other option but to use the Google Chrome browser
