Hello! I got marriage last year and I want to link my husband´s tree with mine but the only option I have it to "create a new tree" of him but he actually has one with his family. How can I do?

    You'll need to create your own profiles for him and any living ancestors (parents, grandparents), then connect to what he has already entered when you get to his deceased ancestors. The easiest way to do that is to ask him for the PID (profile identifier) for one of the deceased people.

    Note that the profiles for living people that you create are only visible to you, so you don't need to invest any time or energy in them: just a nickname is plenty, as long as you'll know who it is. (The best way to protect private data online is to not put it online in the first place.)

    If both you and your husband are members of the LDS Church, you can link your Church membership number to the FamilySeach account. The computer will then automatically link the two together. If you're not members, then the above comment is the best way to do it.
