Can you not show how we are related to the famous people found by FS? Just the same as you supply this info with Relatives at RootsTech 2021.

    I DO NOT what was presented at "RootsTech" ...

    .

    But ...

    That said ...

    .

    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

    "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'.
