Cousin Search

travisgranthess1

Where can I find the Cousin Search feature? It's been years since I tried it and was able to take a name to the temple as a result. It's hard to find names through my direct line because I have quite few family history enthusiasts in my family who've done a thourough job going back as far as they can. As such, there's really no names in my direct family to take to the temple (they've already been done).

Im not exactly what you are referring to as a "Cousin Search"

BUT YOU can go to your grandparents (or any other direct line ancestor)

and change the pedigree landscape view to DESCENDANTS view and then you will see a chart with their descendants - which will allow you to see you and your cousins on it.

see this Help Center article:

https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/what-does-the-descendancy-view-do-in-family-tree

also

https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/what-are-the-different-pedigree-views-in-family-tree

You can use this option to see your cousins without having to go to a third party application.

@travisgranthess1

I believe the third-party program that used to we called the "cousin search" was Puzzilla. This program is still part found in the Solutions Gallery. We have also provided the link for the program below for your convenience. https://puzzilla.org/

We believe this is the program that you may have used previously. If it is not, please note the other wonderful information provided by @Brett . and @Dennis J Yancey who are both very knowledgeable about working with Family Tree information.

Because you are asking about a program that interfaces with Family Tree, I will be moving this post to the Family Tree category where others who are curious about programs that interface with Family Tree can view and add to the discussion.

Best wishes in your continued family history research.
