Question

How does this site work ?

Answer 1

Hi Howard. You're currently a Guest Member, which is why you don't have the ability to add and edit profiles other than your own. If you want to add your family to our tree, follow the instructions on your profile page to Volunteer, and someone can make you a full member.
