Hello there jimkrek,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We're happy to help with this trouble you're having with Family Sharing. An Apple ID is required for every member of the Family Sharing plan. The new member will need to create an email address or get a free iCloud email address. The steps to do so can be found here:


Create an email address for iCloud Mail


Once the email is created, the guidance to create an Apple ID is listed here:


How to create a new Apple ID


We hope this helps you. Feel free to reach back out if you have any questions.


Cheers!
