    .

    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"

    https://www.relativefinder.org/#/main

    .

    Relative Finder _ BYU _ v2.

    "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'.

    .

    Relative Finder _ BYU _ Connect Yourself with a Deceased.

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

    .

    Relative Finder _ BYU _ Connect Two Deceased.

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

    .

    Relative Finder _ BYU _ Connect with Friends.

    Magic

    .

    Enjoy

    .

    Good Luck

    .

    I hope this helps.

    .

    Brett

    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.
