How to link to a family tree at Ancestry.ca & MyHeritage

Question

Hi, I am trying to (remotely) help a new member upgrade from Guest to Family Member. In "Genealogy Communication Preferences", he wants to include links to his trees at Ancestry.ca and MyHeritage but can't work out how to do this.  Is it possible to link to both? Can he just copy the URLs from the search bar? Can someone provide detailed instructions please that I can send to him. Thanks

Answer 1

If his privacy setting is yellow: Same as Private but anyone can view the biography and family tree.

He can add text similar to this to his biography:

I have trees at: [https://www.myheritage.com/site-family-tree-498038361/rowles My Tree at MyHeritage]

[https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/tree/80706719/family?cfpid=48425370515 My Tree at Ancestry]

Thanks, this I know. I am referring to the "Genealogy Communication Preferences" options page. He wants to include links to his trees at Ancestry.ca and MyHeritage. These links will appear at the top of his profile page. See: Genealogy Communication Preferences-Can others see your family tree?

Susan, maybe also add the tag for new_member

Under MyWikitree  drop-down
select Settings

Scroll down to:
Genealogist Section of Profile 

Find: Hide everything except free text space (question #5), if any.
Click on question #5 and try entering the text and links there

Question 2 allows one url may be more

Good idea. I will suggest for Q2 he just selects "It's on another website" and that he includes the links to his Ancestry and MH trees at Q5.
