	Dear All Hello What is the etiquette about sharing family trees? Have members had a 'blanket requests' for viewing the whole tree? I have tried to establish a link first. Has anyone had requests without an established connection, where members want to view your tree? Best wishes to all xx

	Hello Elizabeth, not seen your name before, are you new to the site? I would ask the person who has asked to see your tree, to give you further details in connection to the person in their tree who might be connected to the person in your tree, i.e parents names, any siblings, etc. before you give them access to view your tree. i wouldn't give anyone access to my tree unless they gave me details first. regards Helen

	Dear Brummie Helen Hello I have been here for a while! I did the favourite hymn post and others. Several Elizabeth's were posting at once and it was confusing to folk. I have had messages about viewing my tree but without any info given as to why they think there is a connection. Thank you for the advice. Very best wishes x
