Lost Cousins with Peter Calver
Connecting cousins using the censuses
In the latest Journeys into Genealogy interview Peter Calver explains how he setup Lost Cousins and how useful it is in connecting with distant cousins to share information. It’s all based around the censuses and adding your relatives, highlighting the value of collaboration in genealogy, as people can often uncover new information by working together rather than in isolation.
"The more people you enter from your own tree, especially from the 1881 census, the more matches you get."
