Have just uploaded my tree onto TRIBAL PAGES. There was no problem uploading and it looks as if there are far better options on there than what GR offer. As I have said it is free, and at least if things go wrong we are not paying for it. Why don't you try it? Lynda from Wales

My tree is on there as well as are several other members. It has really good facilities for adding pictures but not as good a search facility. i have only ever had one contact and that very distant on a very unusual surname. Anyone you give permission to can see your tree without being a member. (You can password protect it).

Betty, I think you have to signup first? this is free, then when you are logged in as a member you can upload your tree. Roy

Hi Poy, Thanks for the information about registering, now all I have to do is try the downloading bit, never done this before!! I tried to download a family tree from LDS website, don't know what I did wrong but it didn't work. Betty

Betty, I dont think you can download trees from the LDS site? you can download forms and a free family tree program (paf) from LDS. Roy
