Your friends and relatives will require an Ancestry (r) account to view a family tree that you have shared with them. If they don't already have one, they may sign up for a free guest account. At any moment, you may adjust or cancel the degree of access you offer to your tree. However, if you want everyone who views your tree to be able to edit it, then they will need to create an account for themselves. Only you can do this; neither your wife nor anyone else can do it for you. Ancestry allows married users to create separate trees for each spouse. These trees can be viewed separately or together in a single list. You must log into each tree using the same Ancestry username to see which ones you have created. If you want your wife to be able to view but not edit your tree, she can create a guest account. She can then download a copy of your tree file and view it offline, but she cannot make any changes to it without logging in first. You should also know that all photos, documents, and other media filed under a person's name in their vault are only visible to the owner of that content. So if you include photos from one partner's home directory in another's vault, only those people will be able to view them.
