      @Sean That looks and ‘sounds’ right. Are you by chance an iCloud calendar user? I could get by with just using my daughter’s calendar if I could find it in the list of calendars, but as shown above in the list of available calendars, hers does not show! I’m flumoxed (sp?) by this fact and don’t even know how to ask the question of an Apple person.

        Don’t expect to get the right answer from Apple. They will say just, “Sorry, it’s not working like that”.
        I think the autoshared Family calendar (Only Family calendar has that characters) couldn’t be opened. Use other calendar to aggregate your family events by manual.

          You can make it ‘public’:

          IPhone

          • Go to Calendar app
          • At the bottom you see ‘calendar’
          • click on it
          • click on the ‘i’ behind the family calendar
          • go to the bottom and make sure ‘public calendar’ is selected
          • select option ‘share’ and then select copy

          Now you have the public url and can use it

          Public Share Calendar iPhone

          Mac

          • open calendar app
          • select the family calendar on the left
          • right click on the ‘wifi’ symbol
          • select settings for sharing
          • select public calendar and you can copy the url

          Good luck

              @htilburgs No, I’m afraid not. The “Family” calendar is created using Apple’s “Family Share” iCloud feature and it does not have the same ability to make Public or Private, like other calendars in the Apple Calendar application. What I am having to do is to merge all of the “Family” appointments/events into a new calendar I created (this has to be done by exporting then importing from one to the other calendar) and then getting the URL for that calendar…

              I do appreciate all of the help though.

                @valid8r That’s not the case. As I’m also using the Apple Family calendar and it is possible.
                See the procedure in the earlier reply from me. You have to do it from an Apple device like iPhone, iPad or Mac and than you’re able to share it in a public link.
