Puzzilla?

Recently a short YouTube Family History Fanatics video about Puzzilla popped up which seemed interesting, so I searched a bit and found Use Puzzilla.org to Find Genealogy Research Opportunities on FamilySearch.org and the website Puzzilla.org itself.


What I like about it is that it can be used for analysis and it is beautiful. It's sometimes difficult to show our research in a way that interests family members. Puzzilla is attractive and interactive as well as useful. 

There is a paid version which is available for use at some Family History Centers. Next Research Workshop, I plan to check it out and see how much more there is!

I played with both the ancestor and descendants function. First, the ancestors of my grandson Oscar:
Grandson Oscar's ancestors: some work to do!
Son of our immigrant from the Alsace, Casper Baysinger's descendants:
Beautiful, don't you think?

Gorgeous! but it's not so pretty when there are few descendants, or the research hasn't been done.

Family Locket has a post about how to use the site for LDS purposes, however anyone using FamilySearch.org (and every researcher should!) 

It's fun, it's free, and it helps you focus your work. Try it out!
