Working with people in a small geographic area with the same surname, this would be a big help.

    This functionality currently exists via a FamilySearch partner - Relative Finder.

    .

    Further to what 'Amy' has already proffered, with (BYU) "Relative Finder" ...

    .

    (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 "RelativeFibder"

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

    .

    Apart from your possible connection/link to "Famous People" and "Others" ...

    [ If your "Ancestral" Lines in "Family Tree" are extensive enough ... ]

    .

    (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'.

    .

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

    .

    image.

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

    .

    Give it a go ...

    .

    Enjoy.

    .

    I hope this helps.
