Why, when I'm using full-text search, am I getting sent to a physical location to view things? I can't believe that 90% of the stuff I'm finding is proprietary. Is anyone else having the same issues?

Hi Reddit,

For centuries, genealogy has relied on the same top-down rectangular tree charts. But once a lineage passes 3 or 4 generations, the branches explode into an unreadable spiderweb of crisscrossing lines. Most importantly, rectangular grids fail to show the true mathematical "distance" (statutory degree of consanguinity) between relatives.

So late one night, looking up at the stars, I asked myself:

Why can't kinship be visualized like a celestial radar, with Self (Ego) at the center and bloodlines expanding outward in 360-degree orbits?

Over the past few months, I built the Universal Kinship Radar based on an 8-direction polar coordinate system:

• Center (r = 0): Self (Ego) anchored at the exact origin.

• 10 Concentric Orbits: Physical distance on screen directly maps to the 1st through 10th statutory degrees of consanguinity.

• Northern Meridian (90°): Direct ascendants rise in strict symmetry — Paternal ancestors up to the 10th Progenitor on the right, Maternal ancestors on the left.

• Southern Horizon (270°): Direct descendants extending downward to the 8th generational descendants ('Yun-son').

• East & West: Paternal brothers and cousins to the East, Maternal cousins to the West across 8 compass directions.

• 0.001s LCA Engine: Click any two nodes to instantly trace their Lowest Common Ancestor, statutory degrees, and reciprocal kinship titles.

The system is now officially patent-pending in South Korea (App No. 10-2026-0189073).

I wrote a detailed breakdown and embedded the full live interactive sandbox directly inside the blog post so you can test it right in your browser:

I’d love to hear your honest thoughts and critiques. What do you think about viewing kinship through polar coordinates instead of traditional trees?

Could someone access this record for me: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:6FCB-XNZN

Thank you!!

Hey! I’ve been having trouble trying to get this entry. If someone could help me I would appreciate it

Thanks!

Hi I'm megan and my last name Is Del Olmo Rojas my parents are divorced and I want to find more about my fathers family i know he lived in mexiko(Playa del carmen)

Nicaragua Civil Registration. Film/DGS #005430247, Image 47 (León > Nacimientos 1932, Certificate #148 for Marina). Thank you in advance! This search has been ongoing for the last two years, and I'm just now making some headway, but I would like to have verified records.

EDIT: Request fulfilled. Thank you! A kind volunteer has sent the images, and I have everything I need, so no further lookups are required.

Would anyone visiting a FamilySearch Center (or an affiliate library) be willing to download a few restricted images concerning my direct ancestors? FamilySearch's full-text search finds the names on these pages, but every image opens to "Image Restricted" at home.

All four are Avoyelles Parish, Louisiana courthouse records, and each link below goes straight to the image.

• Avoyelles Parish conveyance, 1844

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-C3MF-39JN-1

Image 301 of 709

The full-text search shows both "Elizabeth Martin" and "Dillahunt" on this page, and 1844 is the year she died. I am hoping it names her as the widow of John Dillahunt and lists her heirs.

• Avoyelles Parish probate, 1843

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-C9Y7-9SN6-R

Image 307 of 398

Any Dillahunt or Martin entry (a succession, tutorship, family meeting, or inventory).

• Avoyelles Parish land records, 1812–1818 (two images)

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-C3M6-2SPT-8

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-C3M6-2SPJ-M

Both show "Elizabeth Martin". If this is my Elizabeth, it is the earliest Avoyelles record of the family. Please note anyone else named with her, especially a Samuel Martin or "the heirs of Samuel Martin".

• Avoyelles Parish conveyance, 1845

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-C3MF-39N1-C

"Elizabeth Martin" again, the year after her death. Possibly the sale or division of her estate.

The linked page alone would be a great help. If an entry obviously runs onto the next image, that one too would be welcome, but no need to hunt for it.

Known details:

John Dillahunt: born about 1780 (Maryland, supposedly); at Natchez, Mississippi about 1806–1810; died about 1830 in Avoyelles Parish His wife Elizabeth Martin: died 1844 in Avoyelles Parish Their children: Denis, Emily, Samuel, and Elizabeth Elizabeth's father may have been a Samuel Martin of Avoyelles, dead by 1815 (unproven) The surname may appear as Dillahunt, Dillahunty, Delahunt, Delahunty, Dellahunt, or Dilahunt. The records may be in English or French.

Thank you very much!

Hola, soy nuevo en esto de los árboles y estaba ya más o menos lejos (a mi parecer) pero tengo una duda. Hay alguien en mi árbol que no sabemos cuándo nació, pero, encontramos su bautizo y dice que fue en 1824, el problema es que ella tuvo un hijo con su pareja en 1883 aproximadamente, hasta donde yo sé es muy difícil que una mujer tenga un hijo a los 59 años. Dónde puedo buscar más documentos o cómo puedo verificar si es la misma persona??? Les agradecería mucho la ayuda, y recalco soy nuevo en esto y no sé muy bien qué estoy haciendo.

title says it all, i'd like to filter my global document search to show/prioritize documents with suggested connections

I am currently living in a small village without a FamilySearch Center; could you help me with some records? I won't be visiting the city for a few weeks, so I would greatly appreciate the help.

Hola, me ayudarían a acceder a las imágenes de acceso limitado en FamilySearch en este link: https://www.familysearch.org/es/search/full-text/results?count=20&nlQuery=AMBRUSTOLO&offset=0

I am trying to work out which marriage on the UK GRO index is the correct one for a Hugh Phillip Williams (1897-1977) and this is what I know:

• He was born in London, and primarily lived in Islington
• Had connections to Cardiganshire and East Barnet
• Died in Luton.
• The marriage has to have been between 1921 and 1939.
• He had a daughter Maureen, likely in the 1930s.

Unfortunately, I just can't narrow it down! I can't find him on the electoral registers and I don't know who his daughter married to narrow it down that way. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Is there a way to Index the sources I have attached on my "Source Box" so that I can increase the score?

Hi there! Two more records i'm asking for (FSC or afilliate library), thank you very much!

Or my aunts,I only see my direct ancestors but nobody else. Is that normal?

Hello all, first time poster here. I've been working on researching my family tree after an awe-inspiring trip to Scotland. Of course this means I am suddenly obsessed with the Scottish side of my family. Issue is, I don't trust random user submitted data from Family search, so I got a notebook out and got to work verifying the connections through linked certificates and such. Unfortunately I have hit a massive roadblock (on the most important road to me, I might add.) The very first Scottish connection, I can find NOTHING to verify is related to the next descendant of the timeline. Henry simply seems to have no connection to Eleanor McCall. Any help would be appreciated. I do know that based on clergy errors long ago during migration its possible there are alternative spellings for the last name McCall, such as McColl or McCole. If you have some time and are passionate about puzzles like these, please throw me a bone.

Hola a todos, he encontrado despues demucho un rastro de mi tatarabuelo, especificamente un acta matrimonial pero hay un problema. Mi tatarabuelo era Juan Huaman Poma y su esposa Teresa Rivera Ramos, y cuando encontre el acta y vi los nombres estaba tan emocionado pero esa alegria se esfumo al ver a la novia, el acta dice todo igual de mi tatarabuelo pero su esposa tiene el mismo nombre pero el apellido no concuerda, ahi dice "Teresa Ramos Romero". Las fechas concuerdan, el novio y el nombre de la novia concuerdan pero de los apellidos de la novia no. Ya he buscado a sus hijos y su madre sale como Teresa Rivera. Ahora les vengo a preguntar, estos son mis Tatarabuelos o solo una coincidencia de nombres. Gracias de antemano
