Who Are You Related To???
By Brother Dick Smith
I have created a Ward group on relativefinder.org. When you go to the site, it will ask you to open your Family Search (FS) account. After uploading it, go to "Groups" (tap on 3-line icon at the top right corner if on smart phone), go to "Join", and enter: Olympia Ward. When prompted, enter the password "Family" (case sensitive). So far, Bishop Salmon, Allison Scherer, and Malina Duff are related to me, and to each other. The arrow next to the generational connection is the CLOSEST one. Click on the arrow and it will show ALL the mutual people we are related to. OBVIOUSLY, the more lines in your FS account, the higher the likelihood of finding a mutual ancestor.
On the left side of the main page are sorts, by category, of famous people/Early LDS, etc. Click on any and you will find interesting relationships. BTW, MANY of those common ancestors need Temple Ordinances! Go for it! Your children will enjoy this, as well.
