Fresno North Stake FamilySearch Center Training

Cousin Research (otherwise known as Descendancy Research) entails the researching of the descendants of your ancestors. FamilySearch provides an internal viewer for this called the Descendancy View. This class explains what the Descendancy View is and how it works. You will learn how to best organize this tool for its successful use. Finally, several actual examples of researching using this tool will be shown. If you have not used this tool this class will be a big help in obtaining an understanding of how it works and can assist you in researching cousins.
