Descendant Trees

Filed under: Family Tree pages — Tags: — chris @ 1:34 pm

You can now view a nested list of anyone’s children, and children’s children, and children’s children’s children … . It’s like the inverse of a family tree. Instead of climbing up through ancestors you’re digging down through descendants.

If you have children, click here to view your descendants page.

You can see anyone’s descendants by clicking the icon to the right of their name on their profile page, or clicking the “Family Tree” tab and then selecting one of the descendant icons.

What makes this feature especially meaningful, I think, is how it highlights the connections between distant cousins. When I click to see all the descendants of an ancestor and see my name on there, it reminds me of my special connection to all the names on the list.
