FindmyPast adds TreeSearch facility

FindmyPast (www.findmypast.co.uk) has finally added the ability to search other people's family trees on its platform. For details on its new TreeSearch function, visit https://www.findmypast.co.uk/help/articles/4426084676637-what-is-tree-search-.

Note that "You can use Tree Search for free when logged into your Findmypast account via the site menu or directly from your family tree builder. To view search results in more detail, you will need an active, valid subscription or a 14-day free trial."

To find the search function, from your family tree page click on an individual so that his or her details pop up on the left hand side panel - you'll see a new box there inviting you to 'Search trees'. If you find a connection, you can message the individual who hosted it. 

There is a also a dedicated search page at https://www.findmypast.co.uk/search-family-tree.
