What is a 'Family Group' Request?

Your Family Group consists of the relatives that you want to stay in touch with. This is the group that you will share your Tree, family news, photo albums, and birthdays with. Your Family Group members may also edit private profiles you manage, both living and deceased. Once you accept a Family Group request you will then receive reminders and updates for that person.

To send a request to add someone to your Family Group, go to that user's profile page and at the top right corner selection the 'Actions' button and then select 'Add to Family Group':

 

Note: You may remove any individual from your Family Group from the Settings page or their profile under Actions. Also, anytime you Block another user, they are automatically removed from your Family Group.
