The privacy settings allows you to control access to your family site.
First it is important to understand what kind of audience may visit your family site.
There are three possible types of users for any family site. The first is the webmaster/creator, which is the person who created the family site or another member promoted by the original webmaster to webmaster status. The Webmaster has the most privileges. Second are Site Members – these are family members and friends that have been invited to the Family Site, typically with lower privileges but still able to contribute content to the family site. The third are guests, i.e., the general public; guests are not allowed to add content and are usually limited too with respect to the content they are allowed to see.
You can change your family site’s privacy settings at any time, by following the procedure below:
First, log into your family site. Look under the main tabs of your family site and click on Administration > Privacy.
Pick the privacy setting for your site that best suits your preference, among the following options:
1) Mixed Site – A few sections in your site will be open to guests, but private information will be restricted to members and webmasters only. This is the default and most popular option. Living individuals will be masked as “Private” in the Family Tree when viewed by guests, to protect the privacy of your family.
2) Public Site – Allows everyone to view all sections of the Family Site, including the Family Tree.For your protection, living individuals will still be masked as “Private” in the Family Tree, for guests.
3) Private Site – The Family Site and Family Tree are will be accessible only to site members and webmasters.Guests are not allowed.
Click Save to finalize your choice. You can change the privacy setting at any time later.
Hi i am new to this site and trying to find any information i can on my grandfathers family. Their surname was Krasner. Some names i have are Gabriel, Aaron, Samuel, Max, Alec, Sadie and Wolf.
Any help on how to start looking would be appreciated.
I have the same situation. Even if I add the person again and her family and the family's family etc, it will and up all duplicated, when it only needs to be linked back to an existing branch.
There isn’t really a way to merge two people in different trees online. What you can do is merge two family trees. If you are really interested in trying to do that, let me just tell you that is a little complicated for online trees.
Firstly, you will have to export both your family trees to Family Tree Builder. Then you can use the export branch feature and export a specific branch from one family tree and then import in to another tree in the Family Tree Builder software.
To do this, go to Family Tree Builder and import the first GEDCOM file (or open your existing family tree project if this is your basis for the merge). Then import the second GEDCOM file, using the ‘File>Import Gedcom’ option in Family Tree Builder. A wizard will open, asking you to select the GEDCOM you wish to import. In the ‘Configuration’ page in this wizard, there is an ‘Output’ section, which gives you an option to merge the new GEDCOM file into the previous project. Choose the Merge option and complete the wizard. Please note, that if there are duplicate people in the two GEDCOM files, they will remain duplicates and will not be consolidated, you will need to delete the duplicates manually. We intend to provide more advanced features for merging GEDCOM files and consolidating duplicates, in the future.
Next time that you have a technical question, please write on our support message boards :)
If you need further assistance. I would be happy to provide it to you.
Thanks for your answer however, this is not what I meant. I do not want to merge two trees, I just would like to have the same person appearing in Two trees.
I don't know if anyone knows about this website but I think it's great. It helps find possible birthdays of just about anyone. It's
www.birthdatabase.com
It is by NO MEANS accurate. And it can have WAY TOO many responses with common names but if you know the city, state, or zip code and time frame you can narrow it down. I have many "not so common" surnames in my tree so I have many responses with just one or two possibilities which makes it really easy to narrow down.
I seem to have a problem when it comes to getting info from my biological father about his father and mother because he doesn't know much about his mother's side of the family and didn't like his father hence doesn't know much about his father's side. What we do know is his father's name and birth state, his mother's name and birth date, and his father's father's name. How do I go about finding out the info when nobody in the family wants to talk about it and I don't have any money?
Sorry I just found this sight or I would have sent you help sooner. Go to your local library and find your local history books, old newpapers, cemeteries, churches, etc. Go to your Courthouse and go thru land deeds, estate wills, probates, etc. It is time consuming but everything but the copies of what you find are free. This is all assuming that they were from Greenville also. If not you will need to look in the counties they lived in. If you still come up blocked email me at bgmsanders@aol.com and I will see if I can find you a starting base. Barbara
