Thank you, both for your reply, I was a bit disappointed to find out after I build my tree that family members could not view it with a free account:( for some family members internet payment is not an option available to them. It understandable to have to pay a subscription to build or edit a tree but inviting free members to view should be available.
If this was available more people would probably subscribe because they may want to add their own spouse's family once they had a look at a relatives tree that they are included on.
Thanks again :)

If you are prepared to share everything that you have entered with folk that you trust???????????????

Download a GEDCOM and email it to your relatives. They can each upload it to their free account. If they in turn already have trees, then that will not work unless they are prepared to overwrite whatever they have already entered. Or they need to set up a second free account under another email address.

But bear in mind that - depending on a persons relationship to you - a large section of your tree may be of no interest to them. As an example, two of my first cousins also have trees on GR. I have their wives on my tree. But not their wives ancestors. And likewise, they do not have my wife's lines on their trees.

Hello :) I want to share my tree with my many relatives is there a way to share it with them if they have a free membership without paying subscription just to view the tree?
Thank you
