To Barbara Hagan: Please contact me - I can't find your tree :-(

Welcome to the boards, Yogi.

Did Barbara give you access to her tree?
Go to the tree page which will open in another tab.
Under your name at the top of the page, there is a link to View Other trees. Click on that.
The Tree Dashboard will open - click Trees shared with me.
See if her name is listed there.
....

Could she be using a different name other than Barbara, just as you have a board name of Yogi13?
When Searching All Members trees for Walter Harrington 1871, there is one entry with a tree owner named OhGrandma (Member No. 102093)

I found Barbara (new to Genes) via Lost Cousins and we are now in contact by email. She says that she has Walter William Harrington 1871 in her tree, but when she searches she doesn't see my tree or her own, so what's going on? I have already seen the list above which you posted (thankyou) and checked out OhGrandma to no avail.
Thanks for your help...

She should see yours, but won't see her own. Most odd.

Is there another, more recent, name she can tell you to search for? Are you sure she has as up to date tree on Genes rather than another site?

As you're in email contact with her, send her the link to this thread.

https://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards/board/ancestors/thread/1371200

She can then click on your board name to send a message and give you access to her tree on Genes. When you reply via this site, you'll be able to do the same.

Are you sure she is registered here as Hagan? There's a Barbara Harrington has Walter Harrington 1870 Little Easton in her tree here.
