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!

Find living relatives and useful connections

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'll also make connections with people who, though not related to you, share the same research interests.
