Is there a way to find famous/notable descendants of wikitree entry?

Question

I am working on a tree for a friend.  I would like to find any famous descendants for the end-line ancestors for this tree.

For example, one of the ancestors is Cogswell-72.  I was clued in elsewhere about 8 famous descendants for this person.  I would like to find out if there are any others that I hadn't already known about.  I would also like to try this search with other distant ancestors.

Thank you!

Answer 1

Solved!

Aleš Trtnik has created a tool called WikiTree+ (https://wikitree.sdms.si/default.htm) that provides a vast array of ways to search for information.

WikiTree+ Text Search Help: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:WikiTree_Plus#Text_search_2

To search for notable descendants of person Tudor-18, you can enter: Descendants=Tudor-18 Notables https://wikitree.sdms.si/default.htm?report=srch1&Query=Descendants%3DTudor-18+Notables&MaxProfiles=500&SortOrder=Default&PageSize=10

Answer 2

Ancestor listmaker, and under List Type pick "Notables"

This looks like a great tool.  However, I am hoping to find the opposite tool - enter a person and find all descendants and filter for only notables.  Is there a listmaker tool for that?

Answer 3

I think in theory you can do this with a WikiTree+ text search using Descendants=Cogswell-72 CategoryWord=Notable

Chase, i would have bet money that the Ancestor Listmaker also let you look at descendants, did it used to do that, or am i just nuts?

Notable should be plural as used in category name.

@Jonathan - Ancestor Listmaker never produced lists of descendants. No comment on what that means about your mental state ;-)
