    .

    It would appear that 'FamilySearch Person Identifier' (PID): GWWM-GHF is a "Living" individual/person ...

    .

    We CANNOT 'Connect' DIRECTLY with "Living" individuals/persons; even, IMMEDIATE "Living" Family members.

    .

    Of course, you are able to enable "Relationship Viewing".

    .

    But ...

    Remember ...

    .

    BOTH, you and the other User/Patron must enable "Relationship Viewing", for it to work.

    .

    There are two ways that I know of, to enable "Relationship Viewing":

    .

    One is through your "Settings", under the "Contact" 'Tab', in "FamilySearch".

    .

    Enable Relationship Viewing _ thru _ Settings _ v2

    .

    Relationship _ Enable Relationship Viewing

    .

    The other is when you select the "Contact Name" of a User/Patron who has contributed details to a record.

    .

    Enable Relationship Viewing _ thru _ User_Patron _ 1 of 2

    .

    Enable Relationship Viewing _ thru _ User_Patron _ 2 of 2

    .

    As an aside ...

    .

    You can ONLY see "Deceased" individuals/persons in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'; except, with this 'rider', that you can ALSO only see "Living" individual/person in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' that YOU created; as, they reside in your "Private Spaces".

    .

    No other User/Patron can see ANY "Living" individuals/persons that were created by another User/Patron; as, they ONLY reside in the "Private Spaces" of the User/Patron who created them.

    .

    We CANNOT even see the ACTUAL Record in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' of our IMMEDIATE Family (eg. Spouse; Children; Parents; Siblings; ETC; Etc; etc) if they are "Living"; and, they have their own 'FamilySearch' Account.

    .

    Of course, you can create your "Living" Family members; and, record them in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'; but, they will ONLY be seen by you:

    .

    - You cannot "Share" them with any other User/Patron.

    .

    - You cannot "Merge"/'Combine" them with any other "Living" individual/person residing in the "Private Spaces" of another User//Patron.

    .

    There is CURRENTLY no mechanism in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' for Users/Patrons, to "Share"; or, "give permission" to "Share", the "Living" individuals/persons in their own "Private Spaces" with/between other/another User/Patron.

    .

    There are a myriad of "Privacy" Laws within the many various Countries and Unions throughout the World - it is a nightmare to negotiate.

    .

    "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' is used in many Countries and Unions throughout the World; and, as such, must adhere to the myriad of "Privacy" Laws throughout the World.

    .

    Hence, "Privacy" is one of the reasons that we cannot "Share" the "Living" individuals/persons in our own "Private Spaces" - it is NOT the ONLY reason; but, certainly has a bearing on the matter.

    .

    Another factor is that such would have to be 'Coded'/'Programmed' into the Programme that is "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'.

    .

    'Yes', these "Living" individuals/person in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' WILL, in fact, in many (most) cases be "Duplicated" - unfortunately a necessary situation that currently cannot be avoided.

    .

    I know that there are "Duplicates" of the "Living" ME - at least, one for my Wife and each of our Children, not to mention my other ("Living") extended Family members.

    .

    Here are some "Knowledge Articles" in 'FamilySearch' in regard to "Private Spaces" and "Living" individuals/persons:

    .

    What is a private space in Family Tree?

    https://www.familysearch.org/help/salesforce/viewArticle?urlname=Understanding-Private-Spaces&lang=en

    .

    Who can see my living relatives in Family Tree?

    https://www.familysearch.org/help/salesforce/viewArticle?urlname=Who-can-see-my-living-relatives-1381815101424&lang=en_US

    .

    I hope this helps.

    .
