LostCousins is the ONLY family history site able to match you with cousins researching the same ancestors
AUTOMATICALLY, ACCURATELY & CONFIDENTIALLY
Simply enter the relatives on your family tree who were recorded on the
US, Canadian, or British Census - then click the Search button!
Our automated matching is close to 100% accurate, so nobody else needs to see your information -
and when you do find a 'lost cousin', you can be certain you're related!
When you find a 'lost cousin' you can share family photos and stories that have been
passed down the generations - things you'll never find in public records offices and archives.
As well as sharing existing knowledge about your family tree you can co-operate on future research - after all, a problem shared is a problem halved!
But that's not all - at LostCousins you can also make connections with people who, though not related to you, share the same research interests.
Just begun to research your family tree? Genealogy may seem complicated at first, but our
Beginners Guide shows how to discover your
family history though censuses and records of births, marriages, and deaths.
But our members aren't all beginners - over half have been researching their family history for 10 years or more.
Our unique matching system works just as well for common surnames as it does for rare surnames!
We've got a great team of 'buddies' who'll help you break down those 'brick walls'. No other site offers free AND confidential advice to solve family history problems!
