James Tanner does it again.  This man is amazing.  How he keeps up with everything so well is a mystery.  Please access his blog at Genealogy's Star.  Link below.

Here is a portion of his post from yesterday.  You want to have some fun with your FS/FT then definitely check out Relative Finder!  Relative Finder is a third party beta site at present.  Check it out.

Relative Finder is a beta test program from the Brigham Young University (BYU) Family History Technology Lab that enables you to find relatives, famous or otherwise, from your FamilySearch.org Family Tree. These programs are not intended to be completed projects. They are works in progress. 

The Relative Finder program works well if your Family Tree ancestors are accurately displayed. There are presently some limitations in the way the people in Family Tree are handled due to it continued connection with the old program, New.FamilySearch.org. As a result of these limitations in Family Tree, Relative Finder may not be as complete or accurate as it would otherwise be. As the program explains:
To get started, try finding some famous relatives. Use the 'relatives' page to select which groups of people to find people in.  To continue reading this post click here.
