Add 'View Relationship' Printing

Susan Willmott

Please consider adding View Relationship to the list of print options. I love your 'view relationship' feature; however, it would be helpful if I could print that view.

Attached is a screenshot of what I am referring to. Unfortunately the screenshot is not as clear as I would like so I am hoping you can add it to the print options instead.

Thank you for your consideration.

You may want to try BYU Relative Finder application - which is FamilySearch compatible:

https://relativefinder.org/

It allows you to download a printable PDF page - which should allow for easier printing. It also allows you to see relationships to other Mayflower ancestors.

Thanks @genthusiast for pointing out the BYU Relative Finder application.

It seems like it does allow you to print a chart showing your relation to anybody you are related to. Furthermore, it allows you to route through several different common ancestors (if there are multiple paths). So it does seem like a very good tool, and i appreciate you bringing it up.

Now, sometimes, however, all you want is just the information from the view-relationship button. That information is already marshalled when it shows up on the pop-up window, so all it would take is one more button that says "print" on the pop-up. I think this would also be easier on the servers (because you are just going through the closest common ancestor, so less data to churn through).

So i think the suggestion is still valid, and would be useful, but the BYU tool is definitely very helpful, and makes the need for a "print" button less urgent.

Thanks for your help.

I tried the BYU Relative Finder, it is close. At first I thought it wasn't the right tool because it is showing my relation to famous people outside my tree, but I found if I go to Connect -> With deceased person and put in my relative's ID# then it will make PDF chart similar to FamilySearch's. The only thing I noticed missing from BYU's tool is the clickable relatives that link back to the FamilySearch person's page, that would be nice to have and I suppose I should write to the BYU team directly about that... The person ID is there at least so that could be used to find the person here on FamilySearch... anyway thanks @genthusiast for the suggestion!

Yes, Most other Genealogy sites have it so you can print out the listing of how you are related.

I can screengrab them and add them to my family folder. But here in FS you can not even do that.

Such a Shame too, as I have found I am related to 1 person in more than 1 way. And I would like to compare them with other finds.

This had been a REQUEST FOR YEARS!!!!! Now, when you revamped the whole sight. Many of us were hoping this would be a new feature included. And do not say you can not do this. Because I can do this (with certain people) on Relative Finder (that are of historical or Famous status). And they are using FamilySearch as their database.

So, it should not be such a hard thing to ask for (FOR YEARS NOW)!.

PLEASE PLEASE (picture me begging)
