how will the new family groups match up or work with my current family group?

Judith Blanpied Wasson

I already have a family group and I couldn't figure out if this new one would merge with it at the end the early access. I decided not to invite my family to the new one as they would be confused with two different family groups. I watched the video but I didn't see any reference as how to connect or use my family group I already had. Please help me see where I am mixed up. Thank you.

There is no way to merge family groups. It sounds like you have one family group with a tree, but that group doesn't have everyone participating in it that you would like, and you have another group that has the participants you want, but no tree. If that's correct, you have two options:

• Invite people to the first group so that they can work on that tree
• Add a tree to the second group (edit that group so that it participates in family group trees)

If you've spent much effort on the tree in the first group, then I think it would be much better to take the first option. It's much easier to invite people to join a group with an existing tree than to redo all that work on new person profiles in a newly-created family group tree.
