I do not consider myself a beginner when referring to
Ancestry and/or Trees. I have numerous trees on ancestry such as my working genealogical
tree, another tree that is bare bones that is tied to my DNA test results, my half-sibling
ancestors, my husband’s tree and various project trees for branches I am trying
to work through. Currently I am the
Chapter Registrar of my local Daughters of American Revolution and I have
created several private trees for working on Prospective Members lineage. Plus
I have been invited to a number of trees. However I have noticed I can’t find
them all. ARGH!
In the list that shows up when I click trees, it appears it
might actually be a list of most recent trees. The list is not exactly alphabetized
and will only display 10 trees.
When I click on Create & Manage trees, I can find a list
of all my personal trees. This list is an Alphabetized list.
It was on this screen that I finally saw “Trees Shared with
Me”, I do not know why I never saw this before. Perhaps since the titles, My Trees
and Trees Shared with Me don’t really stand out as something one could click.
After selecting the “Trees Shared with Me”, I saw all the
trees (12 in total) that are shared with me and my tree role along with who
maintains the tree. Many of these I forgot that it was shared with me. I wish I
could add a note for myself to remember why this tree is shared with me and perhaps
the last time I visited their tree. I do like that I can see when the tree was
last modified.
When I click Tree Overview, I see additional information
about their tree such as recent photos, stories, audio and videos, along with
who the Home Person is and a summary of the number of people, photos, stories,
records, audio and videos.
When I click More Info, I am taking to the Tree Settings
page where the Tree Name and Tree Description that was created by the tree
creator will display. It appears I can
choose a home person and who I am in this tree.
Finally going back to the first image of the list of trees
under the menu choice of Trees, I wish it had a direct link to “Trees Shared
with Me”, so that I didn’t have to go to Create & Manage Trees and then
click on Trees Shared with Me.
