Puzzilla

Posted 2 January 2014, by Gordon Clarke, (Partner News) on the Family Search.org blog is this regarding a new research tool called Puzzilla:

"Puzzilla is now Tree Access certified. Looking for new relatives to take to the temple? Is your pedigree picked over? Is there really no work left for you and your family to do? The Puzzilla.org Descendants Viewer lets you see hundreds of descendants of your ancestors from an aerial view using compact symbols to reveal patterns of incomplete research. You can pick up where prior research left off. Click on a pedigree ancestor and Puzzilla will show you their descendants, revealing holes where research might uncover spouses, children, and generations of relatives waiting for you to find them."

This is an amazing tool to help you find your collateral descendant ancestors.  Most experienced researchers have done this in their head, and it is a difficult concept to teach people.  However, if you can see this visually, then you are more apt to embrace the idea of collateral and descendant research.  If your family pedigree has been well researched and documented and you are wondering what you can do, try Puzilla.


Go to Puzilla, and check out this new tool!  There are some great videos that take only a minute or two to watch and are very informative.
