Not sure if you can do that any more unless you already had multiple accounts linked to a single email address before GR changed things about a year ago.

Members who had existing multiple accounts were allowed to keep them linked to a single email and switch between the two, but any new requests for a second account and tree require a different email and are kept separate.

You can also request access to your free tree from your paid account so if you want to view it you don't have to log out and log in again.

You could wait for the new tree software. Multiple trees will be available then. Goodness knows when it will be ready though.

you can certainly set up at least one more tree .................... but you have to have a different membership in GR for it.


This means that you have to take out the Free membership for the second tree, and use a different email address, site name and password



Most people take out one of the free email addresses, eg, gmail or yahoo, to do this.


People can see your tree, and can contact you


BUT you cannot contact any other member using that Free membership



I assume that it would be possible to have more than 1 extra tree, so long as you have a different email address, password and site name for each one

Just wondering if it is possible to set up separate trees for the different branches of the family rather than having everything in one big heap. I can't seem to find how to do this.
