How do I see Connections of my late husband?

Question

For instance, I know that my late husband had Mayflower Connections. I know the Wikitree id’s for those ancestors but, even as administrator, I cannot see a way for me to use the connection_finder for him. What am I missing?

Answer 1

Hi Nancy, You are my 9th Cousin.  I also have Mayflower Ancestors (grandparents). Your Mayflower Ancestor (your great grandfather) is James Chilton, WikiTree  ID Chilton-4 (same as me)

I went to your profile, but I don't see your late husband's profile.  If you know the WikiTree Id's, and want to find the connections between them then, on YOUR profile page click on 1,185 connections. (that is how many connections you have showing on your profile page)

Now click on Connection Finder  

Then put the WikTree Id's you have in the two boxes and click on FIND CONNECTION  

So: In the connection finder I put your father's WikiTree ID Farr-3951 and my Mayflower Ancestor James Chilton's WikiTree  ID Chilton-4 and here is what came up:

James Chilton is 12 Degrees from Raymond Farr: 1 branch (13)

Thank you, knew there had to be a way\ways, but just wasn’t finding them.

Answer 2

At the bottom of his page, you will see his connection to the current Featured Connections.

On my dad's profile, I clicked on one and it took me to the page showing his connection to that person.  I then clicked on the Featured Connections tab. It took me to my list of featured connections, but there is a place on this page to put another persons id# and see their connections.  The 3rd line down says "To view connections for someone else, enter their WikiTree ID here.  When I put his in the box and hit go, it gave me a list of his closest connections in the Featured Connections catagory. It at least let you see some of the connections.

There might be an easier way, but this is the only way I have found so far.
