Hi Steve.....I took a quick look and I don't see that, that is an option on the GR site....I could be wrong on that but I don't see it. You can, however, import the information into your tree if you have a family tree program on your PC. You would need to have the connection in your tree e-mail you their tree in .ged format. (They can EXPORT their tree off of this site onto their PC or create a .ged program if they are using one and then e-mail you the file.) You would then Import this .ged file into your family tree program using the import option on your tree program. If you don't already use a family tree program, it's usually a good idea to get one and keep your tree on your PC, opposed to building it on one particular site....if the site goes down, you've lost all your work. (Make sure your tree is backed up OFF your PC for safe keeping.) There are several good, free programs on the internet. One I like, personally, is GENOPRO at www.genopro(.)com. I'm sure there are members who could recommend others. I also like Family Tree Maker.....which is reasonably priced. Once you have the program installed on your PC, you can then export your tree from the GR site and import it into a program.....saving you the trouble of retyping everything again. If you need help with any of this, give me a shout and I should be able to walk you through it. Judy
