Hi researchers.

How can I share my family tree in its current state with my daughter, who wants to show it to my grandson in relation to a school project. She isn't a genesreunited subscriber and does not want to be.

Is there a way to do this by email.

looking forward to your advice.

Colin

Welcome to the boards Colin.

- give her your login details
- suggest she joins as a free member. Then you can download a copy of yours as a gedcom, email it to her so she can upload it to her free account.
- suggests she buys or otherwise obtains a free FH programme to use on her computer. That way she can open the gedcom you've emailed to her.

you could, of course email a copy of your tree gedcom, any way,
to her, she can download it and store it intact say on her desktop, until she gets a family tree prog of her own, , which will then be available in its entirety........
