Can I merge my family tree with someone else's on Ancestry.com?
Asked 2 years ago
Merging family trees on Ancestry.com is not a direct feature available to users in the way one might merge files or documents. However, Ancestry.com does provide tools that allow users to connect their family trees with those of other members by sharing information. If two users have shared ancestry and are willing to collaborate, they can add each other's information to their own trees using the shared hints and records feature.
Users can also view other family trees through the provided hints and connections within Ancestry.com. This means that while you cannot physically merge the trees, you can certainly build upon the established research of another tree by adding related ancestors, siblings, and descendants into your own tree.
Moreover, if users are collaborating and agree, they can coordinate changes and enhancements to their individual trees to ensure both trees reflect the correct and complete lineage. For more details on specific procedures, including sharing trees or information, it is advisable to check the Help section available on Ancestry.com for the most current information and guidance.
