Hi Suzanne You might want to have a look at Tribal Pages on www.tribalpages.com, which I use for my own family tree. You can see mine on www.johnsimpson.tribalpages.com Although I have retained the "editing" role to myself, it is possible for you to also allocate an editing role to other members of your family/group, with (I think) varying levels of authority. You can have the site as a completely closed user group, or you can open it to varying degrees (eg to family members only or by invitation and/or to exclude living people etc). You can have a number of quite separate trees on your one account, which can either be free or paid-for (with different capacity levels) The report generating system is quite good and you can import/export gedcoms. Attaching photos is easy, and some people have customised their site to add music, videos etc. You can cite sources etc and link to them, but I'm not sure about actually attaching them - other than as photos. Worth considering, anyway. Good luck. John From: "Suzanne Walker" <swalker7736@yahoo.com> Subject: [ABERDEEN] Online collaborative family tree tools Hello, all.  I'm wondering if any of you have been experimenting with online collaboration on your family trees, and if so if you have any recommendations either pro or con.  This has come to the forefront for me recently as another family member has become quite interested in genealogy.  It would be great to be able to work off of one central file, rather than create redundant data. In my ideal world: -- the data is viewable/editable by invitation only.  Perhaps with different levels of permissions for different viewers? -- some sort of version control/list of most recent changes would be excellent -- there is a robust system for attaching sources to material -- it is possible to generate reports -- it can handle thousands of entries -- it is an actual active working space, as opposed to a static HTML export from paf/ged/etc. -- one can import/export gedcoms, etc. -- Free is always nice, but not mandatory -- other considerations? I don't have this fully fleshed out in my mind yet. Thanks!  I appreciate any perspective you can bring to this as I try to narrow in on some best practices for this. Best, Suzanne
