Question about accounts

JudiJ59

Hi Everyone,

If my sister joins the familysearch family tree - I know that she has to create an account and that when she does it will ask her for her Parents names. Once she adds those can she then merge them with the same parents that are already in the tree - namely the ones I put in as we are the same family please. The reason I am asking this is that she is not that confident with computers so I want her to be able to access the people in the tree easily.

Thanks for any feedback.

Not many people visit this section lately - it's probably best to post in the Family Tree sub-section of "Q and A".

However, the answer to your question depends on whether your parents are still alive. If not, she can add herself to the same parents you have already entered to Family Tree. Problems relate to privacy concerns, when it comes to living persons. This means your sister will have to add "another version" of you and any living parent(s), as she will not be able to see the profiles (IDs) you have created of yourself and them.

So, answering your question another way, if deceased, she can just use the existing IDs and will only have to create "duplicate" IDs for herself, you, and any other living relatives.

Hope this helps, but please do post any further questions you might have to the "Q and A" section, as the Family Tree section in "Groups" seems hardly to be used lately, so you might usually have to wait a long time for a reply if you post here!

Hello Paul,

Thanks for the feedback. Our Parents are deceased.

I will post further queries to the Q and A section.

if the parents are deceased - then your sister should find them - even without having to add them.

she would simply be connecting herself to an already deceased person in Family Tree.,
