share family tree with others without giving them ability to make changes on webpage

Julie_Dollahite

I have a family member who wants to see the family tree I have been working on for years. I don't want to give her access to my account, but I want her to be able to see the family tree. Is there a way I can share it with her so she can browse (but not change)?

Anyone in FamilySearch with an account can SEE and UPDATE - any record for a DECEASED person you have created.

Whether you have realized it or not - - all the data you have entered into FS (for deceased people) - is NOT in a private family tree you you have ownership of.

RATHER - it is part of a PUBLIC single massive database that we all work on collaboratively.
