“Using Puzzilla to Find Ancestors and Descendants”
Categories: IR, LDS
Puzzilla is a third-party program designed to read your family tree information in the FamilySearch Family Tree. It enables you to quickly see large areas of your ancestry or descent in one quick look and determine where you will most likely be able to add new people to Family Tree. Puzzilla has both free and paid (advanced feature) versions. You can use the paid version for free at your local Family History Center. This presentation will demonstrate several real-life examples of how easy it is to find names to add to Family Tree using this product.
Robert Givens has received advanced degrees from Fresno State College and California State University, Fresno. His career in education spanned 39 years in that area.

This included 8 years directing the Fresno North Stake Family History Center and currently providing training for 12 centers in the Fresno region.
He has been actively involved supporting various features of FamilySearch, including helping patrons with their problem records, launching and supporting social communities and administering research groups sponsored by FamilySearch in Facebook, and working on its Research Wiki. He is an experienced researcher in New England, Midwest and southern state records, has published 4 genealogy books, and presented on genealogical topics in multiple states.
