I would like to identify the first person on every branch of my family history tree to join the church. To save hours of time searching is there a way to compare baptismal dates with death dates throughout my family search file and then highlight the first case of a “living” baptism for each branch?

    For the approximately 1/3 of FamilySearch Users who are Latter Day Saints, I'm sure this would be much appreciated, but it is a "nice to have" rather than an essential.


    FS is a non-profit with limited resources, and must prioritize. More fundamental things in the FSFT such as sourcing and the processes of LDS ordinances will take priority.


    FS Staff do read this, and maybe one day they'll be able to devote time and effort to developing this feature.

    Using a personal family history database that syncs or transfers data with FamilySearch would be the easiest way to accomplish your desired search.

    Most have very useful reporting, filtering, and search capabilities
