I think Genosis can almost do what you're looking to do, but right now "out of the box" it will function properly, but may not work the way you're hoping it to work (if you're looking for what I think you're looking for).

Genosis supports multiple trees no problem - however it has been designed as a system where multiple genealogical researchers are all working on one or more trees that they ALL have access to. So you could have 50 different researchers, and 50 different trees, but all the users that have a researcher account would have access to all 50 trees.

I think what you are looking for is totally doable, but would need some Genosis core updates to work properly:

- we need a new user account config item that says "this user has full access to THESE trees, but can't see ones they don't own"

- users can be invited to "join" a tree by regular users so they can invite their family or other researchers to help them out, or view the full tree (if tree privacy is enabled) - right now this is only doable by the site owner (master admin)

So that's definitely not hard to think about how it would be done, but it would all be done at the lowest level so it would take some work to make that happen.

Not a bad idea for Genosis 2.0 as really it would let you make your own version of Ancestry.com in a way.

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks!
