finding relationships between two people (one NOT me)

Catherine Lamb

I know how to use "find my relationship" button, but often I'd like to find a relationship between two other people.

For example I have two lines of Knight. I'd love to compare people in each line to see if they connect somewhere. Is there a way to do this?

I'm often finding myself wishing there was this option.

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

Just in passing ...

The ability exists; but, NOT, in the "Family Tree" Part, of 'FamilySearch' ...

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'.

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

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

And ...

Masquerade

Explore relatives of a deceased person as if you were them by inputting their FamilySearch.org PID.

Magic.

Just explore.

Enjoy.

Good Luck.

I hope. that this may help/assist.

ps: Caveat - Please be aware, that NOT "All" Users/Patrons, may have success; but, hopefully, many will.
