Not sure exactly what you mean but just looked at my tree and can navigate without problems.

Maybe if you give an example of what you are trying to do and why you can't do it.

Barwick, Lancs Bucks & Berks; Craven, Lancs & Ches; Simpson and Dixon, Lancs & Yorks

You need to ask the tree owner for access. Once that's been given, Open your tree, then 'trees shared with me'. Select the tree you wish to look at. Once it's loaded, select 'search tree' (top right hand corner).

Rather than entering a yob and pob which may be slightly different to yours, just put in the name in the search box. Select the most likely entry. Repeat as necessary.

If you mean branches you've already entered on your own tree, sprouting from someone in your tree -

in "Immediate Family" view, select the person who is at the root of their tree.
Then select "Pedigree" view, or "Ancestors" or Descendants" view, depending on how you want to view that person's relatives.

Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.
