Member Since: June 2006 Posts: 305 Send Message	I have been given permission to look at someone else's tree to gain info about a common ancestor. I've put in his name and dob, the box with his name has come up and I've then clicked on his name. However then it just goes straight back to the bottom of the tree showing the owner's name and close relatives. I've tried this several times, and with other common ancestors in her tree, but no luck. Can anyone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? Incidentally I loathe this new tree format and just hope the option of 'my old tree' remains. This seems to be a case of 'if it ain't broke.....' Thanks, Sue

	Try going to your 'old tree' and then use the 'view other trees' box in the top right ?
