DNA testing

[Biggles50]

The tests went off a couple of weeks ago on their way to Ireland.
My tree is Stonehouse tree (Carol Biddiss)
My son's tree is Biddiss/Thornhill (David Biddiss)
David is now in contact with one of his dad's cousins. There are about 16 of them.
I need to find out how to manage his account.

It is an easy task if it his tree you want to manage, but it is one your Son needs to do to give you full access to his tree.

In Ancestry > Create and Manage Trees

Select the tree.

Tree Settings > Invitations

+ Invite People

From the Invite Link

From ROLE use Drop Down to select EDITOR.

Then select Copy Link.

The link is copied to the Clipboard and it needs pasting into an email.

Conversely if you both have an Ancestry account and want to consolidate into a single account then the easy way is to create a GEDCOM for each of the trees in the unwanted account and import each into the wanted Ancestry account.

If this is what you want to do, to keep say your account then your Son can still access your account using either your log in detail or by you following the process listed to invite him to view and Edit his tree.

We need two separate accounts.
My husband was adopted so my account has my husband as Doug (his adopted name) My son's account has his father as Ron (his birth name). We know his bio mum and this is on my son's account.
We have done DNA tests. I am trying to knock down a few walls hopefully. My son is looking for his bio grandfather.
My son is not interested in family history but wants to know about his dad's family.

Just thought I would update you.
We found my son's grandfather.
One third cousin had a big tree, so I made different trees on my computer and managed to link in cousins who only had nine people in their tree. Death notices came in handy, as they gave me more names.
Now on to my tree to see if I can break down some of my brick walls.

Great result, thanks for the the update.
