Family Search-Puzzilla, Relative Finder
Presented and explained by
Alan Rabe
Because FamilySearch has opened their interface to other programs, every well-known genealogy program interfaces with FamilySearch—now even Family Tree Maker. A 3rd party program called Puzzilla, allows you to quickly see all your ancestors in a condensed tree and then pick any one of them and see all their descendants. There are also games you can play using data automatically populated from your family tree. Also a more detailed discussion of sources and the merging process. Live demos and time for questions.
About Puzzilla.org
Research Patterns in FamilyTree Collateral Lines.
The Puzzilla Descendants Viewer is a combination of free basic services plus subscription premium services that help researchers see descendants in FamilyTree using compact symbols that reveal patterns of incomplete research and other work in collateral-lines.
