Cousin Finder™: Now Available for All Individuals in the MyHeritage Family Tree

 I received this information from Daniel Horowitz of MyHeritage today:

===================================

Earlier this year we introduced Cousin Finder™, which makes it easy to discover and connect with blood relatives on MyHeritage — no DNA test required. Since launch, it’s quickly become a favorite among family history enthusiasts for uncovering long-lost relatives and strengthening family connections.

I’m excited to share that there’s a major update: you can now view Cousin Finder™ results not only for yourself, but for any individual in your family tree. That means you can run it for a great-grandparent, a spouse, or even a more distant relative and see their list of cousins, how they’re related, and opportunities to connect.


This update makes Cousin Finder™ even more powerful:
  • Discover blood relatives tied to a specific ancestor or family member
  • Learn exactly how they’re related to that person
  • Complement DNA Matches by finding cousins who haven’t tested
  • Zero in on the most relevant Smart Matches™ through a simpler, more focused view
The feature is free to use, available from any profile page in the family tree, and already generating enthusiastic feedback from our users. You can read more about it on our blog.

                               =========================================

Disclosure: I receive a complimentary subscription to MyHeritage, and have received other material consideration in past years. I uploaded my autosomal DNA raw data to their DNA product. This does not affect my objective analysis of MyHeritage products. I am a paid subscriber to Family Tree Webinars and love it.
