How can you use the “Cousins” feature for other WikiTree IDs?

Question

Under My WikiTree, the 4th feature in the drop down menu is “Cousins”.  Is it possible to use that feature for a WikiTree ID that is not your own?  If so, what is the url?

The cousins list provides another excellent way to see which relatives have and have not taken different types of DNA tests.

Thank you.

According to Jamie's comment on https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1318324/did-you-see-the-new-cousins-app-for-finding-living-relatives?show=1319179#a1319179, at the moment only sysops can see the Cousins list for WikiTree IDs that are not their own.

Thank you Paul.  If anyone knows the reason for why only sysops can see the Cousins list, then please share.  Would letting others see the list be too burdensome on the WikiTree servers?

Hi Peter,

Can you provide some examples where being able to view another person's MyCousins list would be useful? Wouldn't all the cousins that would be related to you by DNA be listed in your own list?

It will be useful to me once Ian converts the list to a table showing their birth and death dates and places with sortable columns.

MyCousins only lists living people. None of them should have a death date, and since all living people must be private there will only be a birth decade unless you are on the TL.

Hello Jamie, It would be useful to see the "MyCousins list" for a DNA testee who is not related to you.  For example, as the Bahamas DNA Project admin, I manage the DNA tests for https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Eldon-14 and https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Lowe-2237 (and dozens of others).

I just realized that I can click on the WikiTree ID and then the connection icon, and then the More button and get the table with birth and death dates and places.
