    What if someone does not have an ancestry account?

    Note – if someone wants to see a family tree of an ancestry user then the person must have either an ancestry account or any genealogy app that supports the Gedcom file.

    A user can create a Gedcom file of the family tree and send it to the person he/she wants to share the family tree with.
