   Relative Finder  |  RelativeFinder.org

This is a fun site where you can run reports of the interesting and famous people to whom you are related. Data are pulled from FamilySearch.org’s “Family Trees” database.


Note: To create a list of "famous" relatives, you must have a Family Tree entry for yourself (or your parents) in FamilySearch.org.  Your tree needs to link to trees of at least some of your ancestors who are also in Family Search.  The Relative Finders application uses these trees to pull your genealogy data from FamilySearch.org.
