Family Tree just got BETTER!

I had to interrupt my regularly scheduled post to share a cool new feature on Family Tree – Descendancy View.

This view allows you to choose an ancestor and see their descendants.  You just work your way down and open descendants to see their descendants and so on.  This excellent tool is a great way to identify areas of incomplete research.  You can select one ancestor and slowly work your way down to see if they are missing descendants.  Cool, right?

Knowing the FamilySearch people that I do, I have a feeling this tool is going to have more awesome features added in the future.

Go check it out today!  Maybe you can find a place in your tree that needs your attention.

And can I just say… SO MUCH BETTER THAN PUZZILLA!
