Add New / Modify Existing Trees

To add a new tree, click on the Add New tab, then fill out the form. To edit an existing tree, click on the Manage tab, then locate the tree using the Search utility and click the Edit icon next to that tree.

NOTE: You must add a tree before you can enter or import data for individuals, families, sources or repositories. If you upgraded from a previous version that did not support trees, your data will be associated with a default tree that has a blank Tree ID. You may edit the other information for this tree, but the Tree ID will remain blank (will work just fine).

Fields available on both the Add New Tree and Modify Existing Tree screens include:

Tree ID
A short, unique, one-word identifier for the tree. Do not include non-alphanumeric characters (stick to numbers and letters), and do not use spaces. This information will not appear anywhere except in the address line of your browser, so it can be all lowercase. You will not be able to change this later. 20 character max.

Tree Name
A short display name or phrase to identify this tree. This will appear in all tree selection boxes, and will be the name by which visitors know this tree.

Description:
A longer description of this tree or the data it contains.

Owner:
The person or organization who created or assembled the data in this tree, or the person or organization responsible for maintaining it.

E-mail:
The owner's e-mail address. Suggestions pertaining to people in this tree will be sent to this address, if it exists (otherwise, suggestions will be sent to the address listed in the General Settings).

Address/City/State/ZIP/Postal Code/Country/Phone:
The owner's contact information.
