Descendancy Resea rch Objective: Help my deceased family members receive the blessings of temple ordinances Option 1 - Find my grandparents, aunts, uncles – working back through past generations Option 2 - Find my cousins – descendancy research - The process of identifying all of the descendants (and their spouses), of an ancestral couple – starting back in time and working forward We need to do both things. If you think that all your work has been done, then try some descendancy research.

I have 510 ancestors back eight generations. There are not a lot of gaps for research in my fan chart. Here are six generations of descendants of just one of the people on the fan chart. If each of my 8 th great grand- parents had 5 children, they could potentially have 4,000,000 descendants in six generations! Fan Chart of my ancestors. Descendancy chart of one ancestor.

How should we approach descendancy research? One method I like uses two apps that interface with familysearch. Puzzilla.org Hope Chest You can do everything you need to without these, using just familysearch, but Puzzilla and Hope Chest can perhaps help you work faster and more efficiently. I like to use Puzzilla to look at the big picture and stay organized; and Hope Chest to look at a lot of records automatically; and familysearch to actually do all the real work. Usually it is also necessary to utilize Ancestry, FindMyPast, MyHeritage, and other collections of records.

Find someone who was born around 1800 and who moved far away from his/her birthplace and from his/her parents. Puzzilla.org Me My Ancestors In Fan View

Follow the fan back a couple of generations and choose one of that person’s ancestors. We will call him our “focus ancestor.” Look at the descendants of this person with Puzzilla.

Now Puzzilla shows a view of all of the descendants (default four generations) of the person. Focus Ancestor is at the center.

Look at the descendants of this person to see if there are any people already in familysearch whose work could be done. Use an app called Hope Chest to automatically search for you. Hope Chest is a free app that works as an extension of Google Chrome, so you must use Chrome as your browser or you can’t use it. You can use Hope Chest at the Family History Center or install it at home. More Tools Extensions Get More Extensions Search the store [for Hope Chest] + Add to Chrome Re-start Chrome to see the hope chest in the task bar.

Make our Focus Person the center of the tree in landscape view.

Start Hope Chest searching descendants. This may take a long time. Hope Chest is looking at every descendant of the Focus Person in familysearch to see if there are any descendants who might need temple work.

Finally done! Now look in Hope Chest to see how many possibilities were found.

Hope Chest found 260 descendants of the Focus Person who might need temple work!

Things to consider: 1. Has enough research been done to prove the relationships in this family? 2. Could there be duplicates of these records in the system that need to be reconciled? 3. Is someone else working on this family who would be disappointed if I reserved the names?

What about people who are not already in familysearch? We will use Puzzilla again.

I chose Hannah Hayward and then went back four generations from her and chose William Hayward [1703] as my focus ancestor.

Four generation Puzzilla descendant chart from my direct-line ancestor William Hayward (1703) shows lots of potential for research. My direct line Now view William Hayward’s Descendants in familysearch. Puzzilla Descendancy Chart for William Hayward [1703]

The descendancy view shows helpful icons for each person.

Temple work Start working down the tree, expanding families. Go to the person page for that person and analyze the data that is there. In this example, I found that there was a duplicate record for Mary Hayward and a duplicate record for James Pickard. There was also no source for their marriage. After I merged the duplicates, I found a marriage record in findmypast.com and put it in the sources. Now, when I look at the person page for Mary Hayward, I discover that she has been sealed to James Pickard. Merging the duplicates discovered this fact. However, other ordinance work has never been done for James Pickard!!

I can now reserve the ordinances for James Pickard.

I click the box to Request reservations of the ordinances. I read the information and then check the box that says I have read and will comply with the Church Temple Ordinance Policy.

The temple work then “flies” to my Temple box. I print the temple requests, take the printout to the temple office where they will give me temple cards for the ordinances. My family and I can now do the temple work. Now I repeat the process for the other possibilities offered in the Puzzilla diagram!!! This diagram shows many possibilities, And is just one of my th great-grandfathers.

Now I repeat the process for the other possibilities offered in the Puzzilla diagram!!! This diagram shows many possibilities for just one of my th great-grandfathers. This is the one whose Husband I found temple work for.

There are so many more people on the chart with no descendants. Each of these could be a gold mine. This one caught my eye. Job Hayward – no descendants

Another descendant caught my eye. In familysearch, Job Hayward had no descendants.

Puzzilla shows an overview of how much I have fleshed out his family in just a few hours using Australia records in Ancestry.com – 39 names so far for temple work!! I am working on finding his descendants.

Summary 1.Find an ancestor who died far away from where his/her parents lived. [Puzzilla can help find such a person quickly.] 2.Choose this person’s grandparent or g-grandparent as the focus. 3. Use Hope Chest to find out if any descendants of this person in familysearch need temple work. If so, do the research necessary to feel comfortable requesting the temple work. 4.Now see if this person might have descendants who are not in familysearch. Use Puzzilla to create a descendant chart for this person. 5.Analyze the Puzzilla descendant chart. It will show people not on your direct line who have no descendants in familysearch but who might have had descendants. 6.Look at the same descendant chart in familysearch and begin researching. Work your way systematically down the chart using ancestry.com or other data sources to find any missing descendants.

Look for people who have no descendants In familysearch but who might have had a family. This man has 10 such descendants on this 4-generation descendancy chart.

Choose one to research. No marriage record found. Still living with parents at age 39 in Perhaps never married.

Look for people who have no descendants In familysearch but who might have had a family. This man has 10 such descendants on this 4-generation descendancy chart. Choose another one to look at.

Choose another one to research. Look at her in Family Tree.

Jackpot!

Not only does she need temple work, but also her parents and husband and child. Now I need to prove these relationships, because there are no sources for her.

Using the descendancy view in familysearch, it is easy to see that there are several possibilities for research and temple work in Henrietta’s parents and half-siblings. We haven’t even looked at her husband and children yet.
