As Chris mentioned the Ancestry guest system I assumed he was asking if there was similar on Genes.

If he sent a gedcom to his nephew he the loses control of his tree. Plus I would have thought he would have had to be a member of An entry to do that.

Sorry to contradict you Namelessone, especially as I'm not sure if I'm right, but I believe you can by exporting a gedcom (hover your mouse above "Family Tree" at the top of the page, export gedcom is one of the options). I think it creates a link which you can send by email. If your nephew has Ancestry he should be able to import the gedcom from your email and it will open as a tree on Ancestry.

Like I said I'm not sure about this, but definitely worth trying to see.

Good luck, can you educate us by letting us know how you get on.

Hi all
Bit new to this, so quick question.
Is it possible to share my tree with someone who is not a member? My nephew shared his Ancestry tree with me (I am not a member of Ancestry) and I wondered if I could share my Genesreunited tree with him?
