Directly Add Living Spouse's Family Tree to Your Own

logantylerfleming1

I would love if there was a feature to send an invite code or somehow have your spouse confirm they give permission for their family tree to be added to your own without having to add their parents and/or grandparents/great-grandparents until you can add their first deceased relative. This is one of the most common questions we get asked as temple and family history consultants, so having a dedicated feature to add spouse's family trees to our own would be wonderful!

Encourage people to use living profiles as intended: simple placeholders or connection nodes. They don't need to have any information entered beyond whatever label the user can identify them by. If that's "Grandpa Smith", that's perfectly fine.

Supposedly the ability to do this is the purpose of the shared private space feature that may be released later this year as discussed at RootsTech.

If they really have overcome all the various privacy rules and regulations around the world that prevent you from doing so currently. Just so you are aware, a lot of people seems to be dreading the thought of such a feature: https://community.familysearch.org/en/discussion/140185/make-only-direct-living-line-visible-in-new-family-groups-feature-not-all-living-relatives
