Hello All This may be a daft question, and because I am still new to this - I will ask anyway. My mum (not a Genes Reunited member) would like a copy of the Family Tree I have drafted on the Genes Reunited website. How do I Email this to her????? Hope someone can help. Regards, Alison.

I think the best/easiest would be to have her sign up for a free account. you contact her (as you're the paying member) and open up your tree to her. The other option is to download a gedcom and send her the file but she'd need a tree program of some kind to open it in. To share with my mum I had put my tree on ancestry and you can invite people to view it. Helen

Hi Alison, does your Mother have a family tree programme of her own? If so you could download your tree as a GEDCOM file and e-mail that to her Keith

If your mum doesn't have a family tree programme, download the free one on familysearch (PAF5) Upload the Gedcom to it - then you can print out from there if you want to (or just bits of it) Familysearch programme is totally free and works off line - so no need for internet connection to play with it.

Hey Alison - we were all new at this once upon a time... lol It's a good feeling to be able to help others, especially when you get stuck/bored with your own tree! Good luck - & if you need step by step instructions - just ask! Elly (off to bed now)
