Hello all. Can anyone tell me how to track bitcoins. I know, using blockchain, but it any advanced way? I got only to blockchain Tree Chart and I have to click on every transaction to show other ones... but is there any way that I will check one BTC transaction and "search" if did bitcoins from there end on one exact another address?

I don't know of any explorers that can do it.  Blockchain.info's transaction tree view is probably the best there is.

I mean is there any way to find out connection between two BTC addresses?

Yes: by transaction.  But again, there's no known explorer that can make it easier.

And different question: If I know 2 BTC addresses, is it possible to find out if they are from same person (or wallet)?

No unless:
1. There's a transaction linking them (that you know of).
2. You have their wallet or master public key.

It is quite hard to track down bitcoin transaction and to find out connection between two addresses or finding out who is the owner of specific bitcoin address is just impossible if the person himself haven't posted that address online etc.

Bitcoin main feature is anonymity and open ledger so anybody can look into bitcoin transaction however finding out connection between two address as well as finding out real owner of that address is almost impossible.
