You have to enter your relations first ONLY from the 1881 census

Then you search names that are the same as yours and they match you up

Received e-mail below, But somehow I can't search anything, can anyone tell me how to search Lost Cousins please?? It still keeps asking me to subscribe and pay the yearly fee!!!

LostCousins is FREE for the holidays!

All users of the LostCousins site will have totally free access from December
26 to January 6, so it's a great opportunity to find and contact living relatives
who share your ancestry!

The LostCousins website has a unique system that identifies living relatives
who share the same ancestors automatically, confidentially, and with virtually
100% accuracy. It's all done using census data, most of which is available
free online at the FamilySearch site.

The more relatives you enter on your My Ancestors page, the better your
chance of finding a cousin immediately - and the more cousins you'll find over
time.

Founder Peter Calver explained why the system works so well: "Using the
census ensures that two members who share the same relative enter
precisely the same data - this means we can not only match you
automatically, but do it with 100% accuracy.

"Once you've told us about your relatives from the census, it takes just
seconds to search for other members who share your ancestors - and you
can repeat the search as often as you like, even after the offer ends. Our
simple search and accurate matching will save you an enormous amount of
time and effort that might otherwise be expended following up false leads."

A recent survey revealed that the average LostCousins member has been
researching her family tree for over 10 years, so the cousins you find are likely
to have lots of useful research to share - as well as photographs and other
memorabilia.

Although new members are required to register, no credit card or other
financial information is requested - so there's absolutely nothing to lose, and
everything to gain by taking part. From January 7 onwards you'll need to be a
subscriber to initiate contact with a new cousin, but otherwise you'll continue
to have full access to your data and to the site.
