Family search cousins
Family search has sent me several cousins. Is there a short cut to include them on my tree?

If you got the connection from FamilySearch, then those people are already in the collaborative Family Tree. You don't add them - they are already there - that is how you got the relationship notification.

Good Morning,
I use Familytree maker. The hints are turned on. There are no small boxes on any names, I am not logged onto Ancestry. com.
How do I import the data supplied by Family search Cousins, or how do I find the collaborative family tree?
Yours faithfully,
Christopher Fall

@ChristopherFall You can find your part of the collaborative family tree by clicking on the 'Family Tree' tab at the top of the FamilySearch homepage. Then click on 'tree.' This takes you to the tree with you at the center.
If you are new to FamilySearch and have not connected to the collaborative family tree, here is a help article that teaches you how: https://www.familysearch.org/en/blog/start-your-tree

Recently all the communications I have received from FamilySearch that refer to "cousins" are not referring to deceased people at all — they are referring to living cousins involved in Relatives at RootsTech.
If that's the case here, then the answer is that you wouldn't add those cousins to the Tree at all. You might add them to your Contacts list if you want to be able to contact them later, or you might chat with them now, but that's about all that makes sense to do with living cousins.

@ChristopherFall There is a known no-hint issue with the current FTM version, 2019. The problem with no hints is said to be corrected in FTM 2024, which should be released shortly.
