Earlier this year MyHeritage introduced Cousin Finder, which makes it easy to discover and connect with blood relatives on MyHeritage — no DNA test required. Since launch, it’s quickly become a favorite among family history enthusiasts for uncovering long-lost relatives and strengthening family connections. 

Now the company is excited to share that there’s a major update: you can now 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:

• 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

The feature is free to use, available from any profile page in the family tree, and already generating enthusiastic feedback from users. You can read more about it in the MyHeritage blog.
