    If you want to work together with other family members, you might like to explore the Labs project Family Group Trees. https://www.familysearch.org/en/labs/

    Hi, Welcome to Family Search Community and asking your question about adding your daughter in law's family genealogy. The steps are pretty easy and involves adding any living people between your daughter in law and her deceased ancestors. So here are the steps.

    1- Go to your son page, add his wife (daughter in law). If she is already there, go to step 2

    2- Go to your daughter in law's page and add her parents. Just note that when adding living people, only the account holder can see the living people they add, and they will have a different ID than on other accounts.

    3- Continue this process by stepping back to the next generation and adding her grandparents. Once you get to deceased ancestors, the rest of her tree will be linked in. A deceased person will have the same ID across all accounts.

    Please note that each account holder that wants to see this genealogy will need to repeat this steps for their own account.

    Alternatively, you can look at the Family Group Tree as suggested by Áine Ní Donnghaile above.
