Thanks everybody for your replies.
Really, honestly... we should be able to see what everybody else on the board is seeing.
Cheers Gerry :-)

It's only you that can't see the names in your own tree.

Take the time to create a Guest account(free).From there you can then see yourself and all of the names in your tree.

I've just put my husbands name in the 2 boxes up the top and he only shows in my nieces tree NOT mine... how strange. I'm a full member until January.

So that means, should anyone want to contact us... they can't (except through a post)
I have seen other names that says 'tree owner' perhaps we are not holding our mouths the right way :-)

I am a Geri, Gerri and Gerry but always be a Geraldine... worra name to give a baby lol

Geraldines, do you mean when you put your names in the 2 boxes at the top of the screen you name appears in other people's trees but is not showing as being in your own tree? If so this is correct, try putting any of the names from your tree & none of them will show as in your own tree.

When I do a name search on my own name nothing comes up.
However, I do appear in my nieces tree and it gives her as the tree owner.
That doesn't seem right to me !!
