Your family member can start with a free site if that's what she wants to do. Photo's do not come through as part of the Gedcom.
Thanks, Alan. She and I are both from the same line - she in Australia and my line in England. I didn't ever get onto her site with My Heritage and she didn't get onto mine with TP and when her subscription ran out I thought we'd both benefit if we were at least using the same site if not the same account. That way we can both pick up the names we need from each other's site. She says she has a lot of names on there she doesn't even want so I do not want to mix hers with mine. I have no idea how well she researches and verifies etc.
So your news is good news. She will no doubt go on to being a subscriber.
Thank you!
