FYI
.
Short Answer: NOT in/through 'FamilySearch' ...
.
But ...
That said ...
.
There is another option ...
.
'Yes', possibly, in/through, (BYU) "RelativeFinder", which works with 'FamilySearch'.
.
Provided, a "Relationship" actually EXISTS in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch' ...
.
IF, you have NOT already; THEN, you could try ...
.
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" ...
.
(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 "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'.
.
.
There is an option to see if there is a 'Connection' between two (x2) "Deceased" individuals/person in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'
.
.
There is an option to see if there is a 'Connection' between ("Living" - Users/Patrons) Friends in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'.
.

Magic

Enjoy

Good Luck

I hope this helps.

Brett, thanks for your help. That is a great start. It defines the relationships. Do you know if there is a way to display the tree?

. . . depending on what you mean by "display the tree"
it does show the people and how they are interconnected - person by person in hte tree.
