How do I define relationships in my Family Tree?

There are two ways to manager your family members' relationships to each other: 1) you may define how a family member is related to you; 2) family historians may define how a family member is related to anyone in the family. 

To define how a family member is related to you:

1. Go to your Family Tree page by clicking your family’s name in the main navigation bar and then selecting “Family Tree.”
   
   
   
   
2. Click the list icon in the upper right-hand corner of the page.
   
   
   
   
3. This will take you to an alphabetical list of all of the family members who have been added to your account. 
   
   
   
   
4. Click the “edit this relationship” button on any given family member.
   
   
    
5. Select the appropriate relationship from the drop-down list.
   
   
    
6. Click “Save.” 

To define how a family member is related to another family member:

Please note that this function is only available to family historians.

1. Go to your Family Account Settings. This option can be found by clicking the drop-down arrow beside your name in the upper right-hand corner of your screen. 
   
   
   
   
2. Find the person whose relationships you wish to define by scrolling through the alphabetical list of family members. Click the pencil-shaped edit tool to the right of that person’s name and select “edit relationships.” 
   
   
   
   
3. Choose the relationship and the person from the respective drop-down menus. To delete a relationship, click the red “x” to the right of each line.
