I cant seem to do it,,,,the 'add children' button isnt highlighted,,,anyone else know what to do?

It's working OK for me. Have you got a couple to add a child to, or just a mum/dad? nell

Claire I've just added a whole raft of children - but after I entered the first as Add a child, it kept this child's details and the Add a Child button wasn't highlighted - but at the end of the options was Add a Sibling. Hope this helps. Nell

To 'have a child' a person must have a partner. Do you have two people as parents or just one ( just tried to add a child to my late brother to see and no, 'add a child' isn't highlighted and he doesn't have a partner) Jess

Do you use Mozilla? If so they are having problems with it which they are trying to sort out, according to GR Support. I can't add/amend anything at the moment

hi there are a few threads now on this new tree business, should i be doing anything? do you have to start a new tree now on this new one or do i still keep my old one? or do i have to transfer it over some way. getting worried brenda x

Brenda You should be able to access your tree in the new format - I have. Just click on My Family Tree on the left hand menu and see. nell

Hi I had the same problem ,then sussed it out as once you add a child ,you then add the next ones a siblings. Had similar problem adding parents,then realised you add one parent then add the other one as partner to the first parent Shirley

many thanks Nell , panic over, apologies for interrupting thread. brenda x

Thanks everyone.. I have parents but still cant add children as the 'add child' button isnt highlighted..however,,,the 'partner one is,,,even though i have couples,,,maybe if i add them to the old tree it would transfare them over,,,??

Hi Claire. I find it easier to add names to the old tree.They will then show up on the new one Margaret

Thanks Margaret, Iv done it that way for now,,,,they see to have popped over ok, Dont know what to do when GR take off the old tree,,

If you add a person, i think you still have to add a partner to that original person before you can add a child. Having added that child, i think you then have to work off that child (and add siblings) not off the parent. ~ does that make any sense at all? Jess

you can also click on immidiate family down the side and add them that way which is how I built my tree up. jenny
