I want someone who has not yet joined to be able to see my trees. Or should I just tell her to open a tree with just her name in it?
Thanks

Janet Jennifer Knepper I have discovered 2 ways to accomplish this....as Geni does not allow non-members to access info. (Which makes perfect sense because I do not want a stranger gathering information about myself and my family to use to scam us!)
1.) My sister and my cousin both wanted to see the tree before they decided to join "Yet another website that would email them." I allowed both of them to look at our family tree while they were at my home visiting. Of course the downside to this is that they may only see it while at my home or with me.
2.) My second sister lives out of state and had a faaling-out with several family members so she did not want anyone acessing her, or her email address, through Geni. I told her my email address and my password that I allow her to use when she wants to access the site for information for her granddaughter who is working on a family tree as a school project.
If she opens a tree with just her name on it she will probably not be able to see your tree anyhow? Not sure....but I think that's how it works.

Janet Jennifer Knepper Hello again Carol,
Just found this note on Geni... " Remember: your family tree is always private, and is only visible to those who are in it."

Bjørn P. Brox Tried to look at the "Share your tree" option in the Family menu?

Jeff, Geni Curator If the person joins Geni and is not related to you, you can extend a "Family Group" invite, which will allow them to see and work on your tree with you. A collaboration works similar, but only on public profiles, where a Family Group works on private ones as well.
