Hi Jean,
This looks good, helps to keep track of those who are on GeneaNet & are or maybe relatives. But I have one question, due to what happened to me on another site I've brought "guest" relatives contacts in my Tree. On Geni.com - when you invite someone in to your Tree, they are able to do these 2 things. I lost "control" of over 100 names, because a neice "added" info, much of it incorrect, to their profile! So, the person who did all the work did not maintain that person, but a second or third did!
So, will a guest have the ability to a. change data on your Family Tree? &/or b. will they be able to "usurp" your family member(s) as their's?
Kathleen,
A "Guest" can view your private data (living individuals) but can't edit/add/delete data in your family tree.
An "Admin" can edit/add/delete data in your family tree.
