HELP

Answer 1

According to the profile for Billings-1938, she is still a guest member who has not volunteered nor confirmed her e-mail address.  I think that's most likely the problem.  Once she becomes a full member, you should be able to add her to trusted lists.  The two profiles should also be merged at that point though.

Lauraine, I had not seen your earlier post on this subject when I responded to this, but I don't think there's any technical problem -- it's supposed to work this way, since guest members don't have editing capability.

I have emailed her requesting her to take over her profile plus enter her email address.  Not sure why this has been so awkward but perhaps because I am a bit inept and she didn't realize this was required.  

Thank you.

Hi Lauraine, 

Guest Members   

Anyone can register as a Guest.

Guest Members can participate in the Genealogist-to-Genealogist (G2G) Forum and edit their own profile. They cannot create or edit other profiles but they can add comments to profiles. They can upload GEDCOMs to take advantage of GEDCOMpare as a search tool but cannot create or edit profiles with it.

A Guest Member can become a Wiki Genealogist if they volunteer to help grow The Free Family Tree and a current Wiki Genealogist (usually a Greeter) confirms them. This gives them a Family Member account which is then converted to a Wiki Genealogist account as soon as they sign the Honor Code.

Guests may just be exploring WikiTree. There is no commitment. They can choose to delete their account at any time.

Thank you.  Usually have no problems adding people onto my trusted list.  Am trying to get this person to join as she is familiar with her own tree and the Smith family a bit.  Her mother was Elizabeth Smith.  I am hoping to have her on my survivor list.
