Earlier this year, MyHeritage introduced Cousin Finder, which makes it easy to discover and connect with blood relatives on MyHeritage — and no DNA test is required.
According to MyHeritage, since its launch, Cousin Finder has quickly become a favorite among family history enthusiasts for uncovering long-lost relatives and strengthening family connections.
Now, there’s a major update. You can view Cousin Finder results not only for yourself, but for any individual in your family tree. That means you can run it for a great-grandparent, a spouse, or even a more distant relative and see their list of cousins, how they’re related, and opportunities to connect.
This update makes Cousin Finder even more powerful. You can:
- Discover blood relatives tied to a specific ancestor or family member
- Learn exactly how they’re related to that person
- Complement DNA Matches by finding cousins who haven’t tested
- Zero in on the most relevant Smart Matches through a simpler, more focused view
Cousin Finder offers many of the same advantages as DNA Matches — finding cousins, contacting them, and uncovering new details — without the need to take a test. For those who have already taken a DNA test, Cousin Finder adds value by revealing blood relatives who haven’t been tested but do appear in family trees on MyHeritage.
The feature is free to use, available from any profile page in the family tree, and according to MyHeritage, it is already generating enthusiastic feedback from users. You can read more about it on MyHeritage’s blog.
