I have 2 living rellies and we wish to connect trees on here, it lets me view their rellies, how do I add them to my tree, does it have to be done manually each and every rellie? Is there a button you can just press to link them. thanks catherine xx

Hi Catherine You can't link trees anymore, they removed that function a while back so now you have to type them all in one by one. The only other way is if you have another family history programme, like FTM, you could get the other person to email you their tree as a GEDCOM file, merge it with yours in FTM and then upload the merged tree to this site. A bit long winded though! Sam x
