It would be nice to be able to print the relationship viewer. When I find someone who I want to connect with that is not LDS and doesn't have an account. If I can print and show them the relationship they are more interested.

    I'm confused. How can you see your relationship to someone else who doesn't yet have an account? Are these living people that you have added to the Family Tree?

    Have you heard of the Snipping Tool app? It is free. I love it. You can open it and click "new" and it will allow you to "clip" any part of any screen on your computer. You can save it or copy and paste it. That would make it really easy to send an image to someone.

    Welcome to the "Community.FamilySearch" Forum".

    I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...

    As an aside ...

    Just in case you were not aware ...

    IF, you have not already utilised such; THEN, I humbly suggest that you try ...

    (BYU) RelativeFinder, which is one of a number of the, Third Party Applications, that are Certified to work with Family Tree of 'FamilySearch'.

    BYU = Brigham Young University, in Provo, Utah, USA (ie. the Church University).

    Specifically, from the Family History Technology Laboratory, of the Computer Science Department.

    Provide, one's "Ancestral" Lines, in Family Tree of 'FamilySearch', are somewhat extensive ...

    Then, using (BYU) RelativeFinder, one should be able to 'see' one's "Relationship" NOT only with, "Famous People"; and, many, "Others"; but, ALSO between, (1) one's self and a "Deceased" individual/person (if, there is one of course); and/or (2) two (x2) "Deceased" individuals/person (if, there is one of course); and/or, (3) one's self and a another "Living" User/Patron (if, there is one of course).

    PLUS, one can ALSO "Print" the connections/links between them.

    And, it is simple, just a matter of "Signing In", with the "Credentials" of one's 'FamilySearch' Account; accepting the "Conditions"; and, the "Connection" between, "FamilySearch' and (BYU) RelativeFinder; which, then becomes a "Partner" Account, that is "Connect" to 'FamilySearch'.

    (BYU) RelativeFinder digs (pun intended) a lot DEEPER in Family Tree of 'FamilySearch', than 'FamilySearch' does.

    Here is direct link to (BYU) RelativeFinder:

    https://www.relativefinder.org/#/main

    (BYU) RelativeFinder has MANY 'Bells and Whistles', that you might find useful.

    Apart from "Famous People" and "Others" ...

    (BYU) RelativeFinder has some interesting options ...

    There is an option to see if there is a 'Connection' between yourself and a "Deceased" individual/person in Family Tree of 'FamilySearch'.

    Relative Finder _ BYU _ Connect Yourself with a Deceased.jpg

    There is an option to see if there is a 'Connection' between two (x2) "Deceased" individuals/person in Family Tree of 'FamilySearch'.

    Relative Finder _ BYU _ Connect Two Deceased.jpg

    There is an option to see if there is a 'Connection' between ("Living" - Users/Patrons) Friends in Family Tree of 'FamilySearch'.

    Relative Finder _ BYU _ Connect with Friends.jpg

    Magic.

    Just explore.

    Enjoy.

    Good Luck.

    I hope that this helps/assists.

    RelativeFinder.org can make a nice PDF of the relationships (plural) between any two profiles in Family Tree.

    I use Snip tool and save it as a PDF. Then I use Paint to edit it.

    How do you control the relationship link? I have a couple that appears multiple times back 6 generations. I cannot find out how to control the relationship line to print them. I have talked to LDS twice.

    Even though this is a good place and yes you can print out your relationship chart. Not all Relatives (even if you have an FS ID code) will you find a Chart to print out.

    So that brings us back to wanting to be able to Print out the Relationship. And if you use the Snip Tool on (windows) or even Take a Screen Grab (Firefox). You can not get a full-page printout.
