Just go to your tree, select an ancestor and click “Search trees.”
In August 2022, Findmypast launched Tree Search, which allows you to search other members’ family trees for ancestors. Not only can you explore other members’ family trees; you can also add public deceased ancestors to your own tree to help further your research. Members can even message one another. Tree Search is available from the site’s main Search menu. You can find ancestors by many different criteria, including first name, last name, gender and year and place and birth. You can also use Tree Search directly from your tree. Just go to your tree, select an ancestor and click “Search trees.” While the search query will be pre-populated with your ancestor’s basic details, you can edit it with other pertinent information that may yield more comprehensive results (for example, year of birth).
