I used to use genes reunited when I first started searching my family tree, I haven't used it for a while and it has changed. Please could someone explain where you put all the details as they only ask for name, dob, death. when you used to be able to put in baptism, marriage etc.

Thanks upfront.
:-)

If you put in those barest details and Save that person will be highlighted on screen. Then click on Edit - and you will see the larger page you're thinking of.

OR when you have your Tree page on screen, look over to the right - you will see a couple of chevrons pointing to the left - click on those and it will open up the person in your tree that you are highlighting. When you've finished adding information, use the chevrons which are now pointing to the right to close down that person.

Clear as mud ? Hope you can follow that, much easier to do than explain.

Either click on Edit on the selected person or click on the quotation marks (top right hand corner of the screen)

In both cases a panel slides out from the right-hand side with all the usual boxes on. Don't forget to Save your work - right at the bottom of the screen.

Greyghost - SNAP!!
