How Do I ...

[Kiltpin]

Hello. My wife's tree is on Ancestry.

While I was away for a day, a twig of one of her distant branches paid a flying visit - 15 minutes, come and gone. Amongst the chat was some good starter information, which I will be following up.

I thought that I would make a start and create a person on Ancestry and when I am sure of the connections I can link them in. I am sure that I have done that before (more than once). For the life of me I can't see how that can be done now. Am I just imagining this or has this facility been removed?

Any help in this matter would be gratefully received.

Regards

If the anc tree is still FTM-based, look for "add unrelated individual". I use it a lot for my OPS.

I open up a profile page add as a relative, then top right there is Search / Tools /Edit, select edit relationship has a drop down box with various scenario!

Fingars crossed it works for you.......however there has to be an easier way.

Looks like you have to add an 'alternative' father or mother (for a male or a female) to anyone in your tree then delete the relationship but leave the person's details

Ancestry's help has this -

Thanks, Lesley. After a hunt, I found that on FTM and have the record started. Now FTM is saying that it can't sync with Ancestry because the tree does not exist there!

I just love technology - maybe!

Thanks, geneius & emmteeyess!

That looks to be a good 'work-around'. I don't mind 'awkward' as long as it works.
