Martha Allen was my sixth Great Grandmother. ( Salem Witch Trials ) . Can I somehow get her to show up under Famous Relatives?

    Kerry

    Welcome to the "Community.FamilySearch" Forum.

    I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...

    Honestly ...

    I DO NOT believe, that 'FamilySearch' (ie. the Church), would consider, a 'Category' of "Notorious", under the "Family History Activities", of "Famous Relatives", to be appropriate, due to the 'wholesome' Family oriented nature of 'FamilySearch' (and, the "Activities").

    As an aside ...

    Many of us have Ancestors of a "Notorious" background.

    As such ...

    IF, you have not already; THEN, if your "Ancestral" Lines, in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch', are extensive enough ...

    Can I humbly suggest that a place where you should be able to 'See' your "Relationship" with, "Famous People"; and, many, "Others"; PLUS, you can ALSO "Print" the connections/links between you and them is through (BYU) "RelativeFinder" ...

    And, it is simple, just a matter of "Signing In", with the credentials of your 'FamilySearch' Account; accepting the "Conditions"; and, the "Connection" between "FamilySearch' and (BYU) "RelativeFinder"; which, then becomes a "Partner" Account, that is "Connect" to 'FamilySearch.

    (BYU) "RelativeFinder" digs (pun intended) a lot DEEPER in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch', than 'FamilySearch' does.

    (BYU) "RelativeFinder" is one of the "Third Party" Applications that "Certified" to work with "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'.

    BYU = Brigham Young University, in Provo, Utah, USA (ie. the Church University).

    From the "Family History Technology Laboratory", of the "Computer Science" Department.

    Here is direct link to "RelativeFinder"

    "RelativeFinder" has MANY 'Bells and Whistles', that you might find useful.

    Apart from "Famous People" and "Others" ...

    (BYU) "RelativeFinder" has some interesting options ...

    There is an option to see if there is a 'Connection' between yourself and a "Deceased" individual/person in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'.

    User: "User: "User: "Relative Finder _ BYU _ Connect Yourself with a Deceased.jpg"""

    There is an option to see if there is a 'Connection' between two (x2) "Deceased" individuals/person in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'.

    User: "User: "User: "Relative Finder _ BYU _ Connect Two Deceased.jpg"""

    There is an option to see if there is a 'Connection' between ("Living" - Users/Patrons) Friends in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'.

    User: "User: "User: "Relative Finder _ BYU _ Connect with Friends.jpg"""

    Magic.

    Enjoy.

    Good Luck.

    I hope this might help, somewhat.
