How do you find a list of WikiTreers that you're related to? I've noticed that other WikiTreers have a list of their close relatives who are also on WikiTree...

Thanks for your help!

Zachary, This question just enlarged your Christmas card list.
One way is to go to your connections page:
* (My WikiTree menu -> Connections)
*Click on the "My Cousins" tab

That will show you your cousins that have profiles on WikiTree. The last column tells you when they made their last contribution so you can see if they are active.

Hi.

We're 11th cousins.

For fun, match your profile to the US Presidents

Or check for a relationship to these US presidents: Go to your profile, then click "Find".  Select "relationships"; then select from the pop up menu:  George WashingtonJohn AdamsThomas JeffersonJames MadisonJames MonroeJohn Quincy Adams,Andrew JacksonMartin Van BurenWilliam Henry HarrisonJohn TylerJames K PolkZachary TaylorMillard FillmoreFranklin PierceJames BuchananAbraham Lincoln,etc.

It helps if its a rainy day and you've run out of books to read -- or you have squinted at Internet genealogy books or 18th century handwriting a bit too long!

Hello cousins!  

It's been a beautiful day, my front and back yard is full of flowers, my tomato plants (all three!) are blooming, and -- we've found more kin!

Grins,  Janine
Cousin Janine!

Glad to hear your garden is doing well. We were blessed with nice whether this spring and I got my tomatoes planted more than two months earlier than usual. My plants have lots of tomatoes, mostly all green. My grape tomato plant has dropped the first few tomatoes just before being completely ripe. I've picked my one tomato today off one of my plum tomato plants (have 7). I cut it three ways so each of us could have a taste. Nice and sweet. No signs of ripening on either my yellow pear tomato bush or on the slicing tomato bush. Once the weather gets hotter they'll probably all ripen at once. Hopefully that won't be for a few more weeks. I've got 6 cabbages that are heading up really nice. First time they have done that for me.
Happy gardening cousins! I'm just back in from picking fresh strawberries and raspberries. The apples are shaping up nicely too. It's going to be mainly fruit this year as I didn't manage to get the veg planted.
Yum fruit salad!

You and I are 14th cousins 4x removed.  You can get shareable images of how you're related using Relationship Finder. For example: Ours produced an image after clicking the Search 30 Generations button, and the shareable image link is below the chart the 30 Generations search produced: https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Special:Relationship&action=calculate&person1_name=Smith-126297&person2_name=Wood-4751

It's not the strongest connection, but a 30 generation search shows us as 19th cousins, once removed.

Zachary we're 11th cousins once removed. Honestly it's more surprising to find someone you're *not* related on wikitree once you've built up a decent family tree. :D

Under the My Wikitree tab there is a Family Tree and Tools link that will give you a graphic tree as well as links to ancestors.  

You can also "find" and enter surnames for extensive lists.  Not sure if these tools will meet your needs, but it will show you a lot of connections.  The connections finder can only be used to find you relation to a single person.
