Have you been to the BYU Family History Technology Lab yet? It has so many fun and unique ways to look at and participate in family history and genealogy, and the easy thing is that you can allow it to connect to your FamilySearch for free! I really liked the Pedigree Pie, that was cool to visualize. Check it out here:

There is much more there than I've yet had time to look at, but I've found that to be an outstanding resource - and often just plain fun! It's a great addition to the relatively new "Activities" menu item at the top of FamilySearch, but is also a big help with research sometimes as well. I fully agree - well worth checking out.

This is fabulous @Amber Marstella Rothamer! Thank you for this information.

I like playing with relativefinder, but wish it went back 20 generations, instead of only 16, so that it would pick up direct line ancestors, without me having to masquerade as someone 4 generations earlier in my tree.

Indeed. That would be wonderful.

@Amber Marstella Rothamer Hey, I went to this Pedigree Pie and found 6 duplicates so far! Thanks!
I'm going to play in there some 😀 more!

Today I just found another duplicate! I check on my ancestors places of birth and work to standardize them which has now resulted in finding 7 duplicates!
Has anyone tried this? Has anyone had any successes? If you have or try it, I'd love to hear about it!
When we post our findings other people can learn from us!😊

I need to report I'm still finding duplicates to merge by using the Predict Unknows while in Pedigree Pie.
It shows my fan chart then my ancestors that don't have a place of birth, residency or death, nor a standard one. I then let it predict and compare to my ancestor in FamilySearch Tree. It is soo much fun having success! One ancestor in FST was showing living in the Netherlands and in the Pedigree Pie as living in Germany.
When I asked in the Germany FSC Group what the standard would be for the ababbreviation listed, my mystery was solved as I was given the correct name of residence and the reasons why!
I would have never known all those details by just guessing what the standardized place would be!
