Ancestry private trees - Genealogists' Forum

Is there anywhere on Ancestry which lists which private trees you've been invited to see?

I've found I can view one but I don't remember ever having been in contact with the owner.

Does it include them if you click on the Family Trees tab near the top of the screen, and then the "Trees shared with me" tab? I don't know whether I have access to any private ones.

I only get 2 options when I click the Family Trees tab at the top - start a new tree, and upload a gedcom.

There is a spot that shows you what trees you can see, I can't remember where though.

Just checked. Click on the Family Trees tab at the top. Any trees you have access to will appear there.

Thanks, Toni. It looks like I shouldn't have access to any trees, then, as there's none showing.

So I wonder why I can see this private tree? It's the only one I can see.

Very odd.

It could be that private trees are different from public ones and don't show on the tab?

Lindsay · #8 04-11-13, 19:29

I thought only private ones would show?

No one of the trees I can see is a private tree and appears on the list.

Thanks Toni - I don't have any trees listed and as far as I can remember I've never contacted anyone with a private tree.

Definitely odd.
