    Hi @ Ken8963

    Thank you for posting your question on FamilySearch Community regarding sharing your Family Tree link with your relative.

    You cannot share a link to your personal family tree.

     To protect privacy, Family Tree limits who can see the records of living people. Only the user who entered the information about a living person into Family Tree can see or change it.

    Your relative will need to create his own FamilySearch account and Family Tree. This person can enter the same living person in their own Family Tree but they would have a different ID.

    See this extract from a Knowledge Article from FamilySearch Help Centre.

    Can multiple contributors enter the same living person into Family Tree?

    Multiple users can enter a profile for the same living person into Family Tree. Each record has a different ID. If you make changes to the profile of a living person that you can see, your change does not affect other profiles for the same person.

    You can find answers to your questions by using our Help feature at the top of any FamilySearch screen by clicking the Help icon (the small circle with the question mark), then Help Centre. Enter a few key search terms to find and select knowledge articles appropriate to your question.

    Thank you again for contacting us and we wish you well in continuing to build your Family Tree.

    Kind Regards.
