FamilySearch is enhancing its tree building features.

For years, individuals and organizations have uploaded trees they have personally compiled to a space on FamilySearch called Genealogies. These trees were searchable, but they could not be edited—not even by the person or organization that shared them. Now FamilySearch is enhancing our systems so that users can upload, build, and modify these trees. This enhancement is expected to include the following key elements: 

• All users can see deceased persons, but only the owner and invited researchers can edit the tree data. 
• Tree owners can invite other trusted individuals to join and help build their tree, manage tree access, and continue research should the owner pass on. 
• Record hints are displayed on ancestors from the billions of historical documents on FamilySearch. 
• The user interface is enhanced to match the Family Tree interface.  
• Trees can be created directly from, and sync to, leading 3rd party genealogy products or by uploading a GEDCOM file.  

Exploration and development on these enhanced features is in the early stages. If you would like to opt-in to receive periodic updates on our progress, please click the link below and tell us about yourself.  By doing so, you will be considered for early-access as we scale up the number of patrons with access to the new feature. 

Please note that the community shared FamilySearch Family Tree is not changed by these enhanced features.
