Relationship Finder

The Relationship Finder (Pro) answers the question every relative asks: “How are we related?” It explains how two people in your tree connect, such as cousins or aunts and uncles.

Turn it on

1. Go to ForeBranch → Dashboard → Configuration.
2. Under Comments & Visitor Interaction, tick Show “How are we related?” on person pages.
3. Click Save Settings.

Find a relationship

1. Open any person page.
2. Click How are we related? at the top of the page.
3. In the dialog, search for a person in the same tree.
4. Choose the person from the results.
5. Click Find relationship. The button becomes available once you have chosen someone.

ForeBranch explains how the chosen person connects to the person you are viewing. Click × to close the dialog.

Good to know

• The finder works within one tree. Both people must be in the same tree.
• The relationships come from the family links in your GEDCOM. If a connection is missing, add the link in your genealogy software and re-import.

Ideas for using it

• Share a person page with a relative and invite them to find their own connection.
• Use it at family reunions to settle “how exactly are we cousins?” questions.
