This site is fairly new to me. Most of the site it great and easy to use. However, like some of the other guest comments I am a little confused. Here are two of my comments - constructive of course. 1. Not all the branches of the tree show up. I spent ages tying in family names to find that they are not showing. The main branch of the tree shows, but other names I have typed in on branches of the tree should I assume show up. Mine don't. 2.I find it difficult to remove a name when you've made a mistake. I've typed in the same person three times in different boxes - it seems to hiccup a lot, and now I can't remove them without going back to the very beginning. I've also got a parent next to a child on the tree line. I didn't type it like that it just appeared! I've tried doing what the helpline says but it doesn't work. The wonders of technology!! The idea of family trees is a great one, especially to find lost relatives etc., but there are certainly a few glitches in the system still which somebody needs to iron out. On the up-beat side - I've just found a new relation, so I am very happy.
