How can I interact with family members? What is Collaboration?
Collaboration allows you to see who else is working on your genealogy. With this feature you will find new sources and leads that previously have not have been available.
All of the individual records in OneGreatFamily are tracked by who submitted them. You can find the name and email address of the person who submitted the record by selecting the individual so that they are the primary focus in the Handprint. Click where it says [Click to edit]. When the details for the individual appear, click on the button labeled "Collaborate" at the bottom left of the box. You will see a list of groups and members of those groups. Click on a member name and you will see their name and email address appear below. Press the Send button to open your default email client in order to type and send that member an email. OneGreatFamily Family Groups are also a method of interacting with other members. You can invite other members to your group, and they can invite you to theirs. Collaborate

When I try to collaborate, I am unable to do so.
When you press the Send button in the Collaborate with others box, the browser will attempt to launch a default email client. If you are not running a program such as Outlook or Outlook Express, this feature may not work. If you use a web-based email provider such as AOL or MSN, then you can write down the name and email address and send them an email as normal.
