I watch all your videos and really appreciate your content! Yesterday, I took my 3 year old son to our veterans cemetery to visit my grandparents graves and others we knew were there. Then we took a drive out to the middle of nowhere to a small town to visit a very old cemetery that I had discovered had some of our ancestors a couple weeks ago. While there, I found the page on the site and discovered we had 14 relatives there including my 4th and 5th great grandparents! They weren't all buried together and had I not had this resource, I would have missed the older generation of them! Their stones were SO old and barely legible. I'm not sure how many more years they will last but so glad I was able to photograph our son with them! I saved the page to my home screen and can't wait to continue to discover more. Thank you for that tip!

Received an email about an ancestor in an East Texas cemetery. That lead to other finds and I played around on the site a bit last night. Thanks for the video which helps explain things AND the head's up on things to come (all of which is very exciting!).

Such an interesting feature. I was on familysearch the other day and saw that they were potentially adding this new feature that determines if the people in the photo are related, for those photos of your ancestors with people you can’t identify. My grandmother had way too many scrapbooks so this would be an amazing feature. I really think familysearch is such an amazing site that is often overlooked.

This is really cool and helpful! Family Search had sent me a email last night that said I had 35 ancestors in the Old North Cemetery in Truro Ma. Your video explained this new feature in Family Search.

I am one of those new people to this looking up family thing. So I've been randomly searching for help and information and tips and tricks. I stumbled upon this video this morning and I decided to give it a look and even being signed in it was not showing I had family members in the cemetery. So I was wondering if I am missing a setting or maybe there's more information to read about it?

@AncestryAimee Жыл бұрын

You have to sign in and be part of the family tree. It will only show you relations in the tree so if you don’t have much in the tree, you won’t have matches. Great question! Sorry it wasn’t clear!

@musthavemuzk Жыл бұрын

I have a tree. I have created people for my tree. I was signed in. It is not life-or-death but it's frustrating when something is advertised one way and you don't get the same results. With that said I am also understanding that when something is new there might be bugs to remove.

@AncestryAimee Жыл бұрын

@@musthavemuzk I understand. First know I don’t work for FamilySearch. FamilySearch’s tree is a collaborative tree and you will have better results when you connect to people in the tree which will then extend the tree automatically further. When you add someone to your tree look for them in the tree already, don’t just type them in as a new individual. Take advantage of the volunteers at the local FamilySearch libraries, they are all over the world. Or use their help services online. Good luck!

Or, how many times have we been to a cemetery and the relatives have no headstone. What was worse, 8 people buried in a plot, in 8 graves. Note in book of burials was "someone buried" with a date, no name. So each geave had a family member for certain, and a few had no record of a name. I asked how this could have happened. Response was: Sometimes we get really busy.

This video was so helpful! I just did a Google search for Familysearch and the cemeteries, monuments and memorial sites for it come up. I have found alot of information. In the cemeteries I have search it doesn't say people related to me it just says like 51 people found and gives me their information. Are these people related to me or just people who are buried there? Thanks!

@AncestryAimee 11 ай бұрын

That’s probably people in the location unless it says they are related to you at the top.

@autumn4394 9 ай бұрын

Interesting, and could be helpful someday, but doesn't seem very accurate right now. It's pulling PID's for some ancestors but not others who are in the same cemetery. The locations in Find a Grave for all the profiles are exactly the same and yet it lists my GF but not my GM or Father in one cemetery. Another cemetery lists my GGM but not GGF.
