I am trying to build my family tree, i have found several relatives and have stored them in `Saved records` in the keepsake section. How do i now move these records onto my tree so that i can build up the graph of my tree... many thanks, a very non computer savvy lady :-S

You won't be able to physically see them on the Tree view, but you can attach them to named people.

Go to the record and click on it. Then in the edit box start to type in the name of the relative it should be attached to - select the name from the list which begins to appear. Remember to 'Save'.

When you've finished, go to your tree and find that person. Open up the side panel and click on 'records'. That will show you all the records you have attached. Click on any one of them to view in another tab.

If you find new names on say census, I think that you'll have to add the name to your tree before you can attach the record.
