    I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...

    [ And, I also happen to be a member of the Church ... ]

    Provided that, your "Ancestral" Lines, in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch', are extensive enough ...

    FYI 

    In relation to one's "Ancestors" that are (or, may be) Members of the Church ...

    Apart from the 'FamilySearch' "Campaign" of "Your Pioneer Relatives"

    https://www.familysearch.org/campaign/pioneers

    There are a few other 'FamilySearch' "Campaigns" that you MAY find interesting ...

    Possibly, even ...

    Early Utah Mormon Pioneers

    Pioneer Database

    1847–1868

    The Mormon Battalion Association

    Plus ...

    (BYU) RelativeFinder

    IF, you have not already; THEN, You might want to try ...

    Can I humbly suggest that a place where you should be able to 'See' your "Relationship" with, "Famous People"; and, many, "Others"; including, "Early Utah Mormon Pioneers"; and, Church Leaders; and, many OTHER Church Members; PLUS, you can ALSO "Print" the connections/links between you and them is through (BYU) "RelativeFinder" ...

    And, it is simple, just a matter of "Signing In", with the credentials of your 'FamilySearch' Account; accepting the "Conditions"; and, the "Connection" between "FamilySearch' and (BYU) "RelativeFinder"; which, then becomes a "Partner" Account, that is "Connect" to 'FamilySearch.

    (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'.

    Relative Finder _ BYU _ Connect Yourself with a Deceased.jpg

    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.jpg

    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 might help, somewhat.
