How do I display or switch to a family group tree?

If you have a family group tree, use the switcher in the upper-left corner of Family Tree to switch to a family group tree from your private tree.

In Family Tree, all users have a private tree that contains the living and confidential people they entered. Formerly, this tree was called a "private space." It is now called the "FamilySearch Tree."

When you view the FamilySearch Tree, the living and confidential people in the tree are visible only to you. When you view a family group tree, the living people are visible to all group members.
