How can I share a link to my tree with other people not on Geni?

You can share your tree with others who are not on Geni by sending them a link. Please keep in mind that this is a limited read-only view of your tree to share with family and friends outside of Geni and you may only go back up to 5 generations.

To share a link to your tree to a limited read-only view of your tree:

1. Click the Family tab at the top of the page and select "Share Your Tree"
