Let us suggest famous relatives
FS has a new feature that let us know if we have famous relatives. The problem is that it seems that it is centered in USA and it is useless for people from other countries. I am relative to various presidents and famous artists of my country. I would like to suggest them.

'Yes', the various "Campaigns" are American 'centric; and, that is understandable ...
.
But, I am not saying that is 'pleasing' for those of us who are not American ...

FYI

Here are some "Knowledge Articles" in 'FamilySearch':

Why do I not have any famous relatives?

Why are there so many people from Western cultures in Famous Relatives?
.
And ...
That said ...
.
For starters, there must be a DIRECT connection/link between you; and, the "Famous" relatives, within the x15 Generation limit, that 'FamilySearch' can find.

Here is a "Knowledge Article" in 'FamilySearch' confirming that:

How do I view my relationship to a person in Family Tree?

Family Tree provides a View My Relationship feature to show your potential relationship to an individual included in the tree. In this feature, the chart can show 15 generations up and 15 generations down from the person you are viewing.

As an aside ...

Just a thought ...
.
IF, you have not already; THEN, ...

You can always try (BYU) "RelativeFinder".
.
(BYU) "RelativeFinder" digs (pun intended) a lot DEEPER in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch', than 'FamilySearch' does (well beyond the 15 Generations).
.
(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.

Give it a go ...
.
There are many 'Bells and Whistles' that you might find useful in "RelativeFinder".
.
Magic.
.
Enjoy.
.
I hope this helps.

FYI

The FIRST "Link" (ie. URL) being:
https://www.biographyonline.net/people/famous-100.html
on the "E-mail" for the "Campaign" of "Discover Your Famous Relatives"
is considered UNSAFE ...
.

.
Possibly ONLY the "Certificate" has not been updated; but, still NOT a good 'interface' experience.

I agree there should be a way to suggest that the person is famous. US and beyond.

One more vote for adding a way to suggest famous people. For example, I was disappointed to see that none of the Three Witnesses were listed.
