Relative Finder

For my fellow genealogy nerds, family search just put out a companion site called Relative Finder. If you have your family tree uploaded on family search, you can compare your tree with names of note (presidents, European royalty, prophets, apostles, etc) and it will spit out your relation to these people.

 

I found out that I'm cousins of some sort with all the prophets except for John Taylor....and that I'm also a cousin of Lilburn Boggs (as is Joseph Smith).

 

There's even a way to create a group and see if you have common ancestors with friends. Just thought I'd share with those who would be interested! I find it pretty cool that I have some distant ties to other LDS members, as a convert.

 

The website is relativefinder.org !

Its also fun to set up in your ward and see who is related to who!

 

I found it interesting that I am related to a lot of the people in my ward who I feel most drawn to, whether it is a sense of friendship with them or people who I admire for their strength in the gospel.
