First, thank for the link etc to Lost Cousins.

Interesting and never know it may help me open doors to areas I cant find.

As for Ancestry, I agree in locking trees .... I am happy to share relevant details but to give open access is, I think, a recipe for disaster.

Thanks and lets see where this journey takes us.

Hello David54

I also belong to Lost Cousins and find it very helpful.

Having fairly recently done my DNA test with Ancestry I was advised by them to compile a family tree which I have done as apparently it should improve my chances of matches. However, in my ignorance I do not know how to lock it. Does it make any difference that I am not subscribed to Ancestry? If not, how do I go about it, please? I shall look forward to your advice.

sugarfizzle, many thanks for your help. I have just made my tree private.

Another question, however. Am I able to also put my adopted relations on a separate tree with Ancestry, please?

Yes you can.

Either
1) Trees top left
Create and manage trees bottom of list
Create new tree bottom left

or you could add them to your existing tree -

2) Add to current tree as your parent
Go to your profile
Edit, top R
Edit Relationships
Add alternative father/mother, status adopted

or

3) Add as separate family member
Do as 2 above to add as parent
Edit Relationships
Remove parents (this doesn't remove them from your tree, just as your parents)

There might be an easier way of doing option 3, but it's how I add an unrelated person to my tree.
