Step-by-step instructions

Here's how to find children born to the same parents:

  1. From the FamilySearch homepage, click Search, followed by Records.
  2. Leave the first and last name fields blank.
  3. Click More Options.
  4. Add a place and a range of years if known.
  5. Click the Father and Mother buttons.
  6. Enter the parents' names.
    • As needed, try variations of the parents' first or last names.
    • Or try your search with just one of the parent’s names, since it is possible that only one parent is on the record.
  7. Scroll down and click Search.
