New feature at Family Search helps locate cousins and complete ordinances

The Puzzilla Descendants Viewer lets researchers see descendants in FamilyTree using compact symbols that reveal patterns of incomplete research in collateral-lines. Names and details appear as you move the pointer over the symbols.

• Clicking on an ancestor symbol in the pedigree leads to that person's descendants.
• Clicking on a descendant symbol leads to searching for that person in FamilySearch historical records.
• Shift-clicking on a symbol selects that person and provides information and options for that person in the left panel.

Puzzilla.org provides tools to help genealogical researchers.
The Puzzilla name refers to assembling pieces of a puzzle to complete the whole, the essence of the genealogical research process.
We believe that a genealogical research database should be based on linked identities of individuals recorded in historical evidence records--the puzzle pieces--and not on merged conclusion records.
The Descendants Viewer is a free service and will remain so. The time and expense to create Puzzilla so far have been donated by a handful of people with a passion for helping others succeed in their family history and genealogical research. We plan to offer additional premium services for an annual fee so that we can hire full-time professionals and provide more free and for-fee services.
