Viewing deceased relative's relationships to each other

I don't know if this is possible, but I keep trying to do this and it doesn't work. Is there a way we can put in two deceased names and see how they are related to each other by going through their progenitors? I know how they are related to me, but sometimes I want to check to see if they are related some other way. It would honestly just be a nice feature, but it really isn't necessary.

    RelativeFinder has this functionality: https://relativefinder.org/#/two-deceased

    Sign in with your FamilySearch username/password.

    Look under the Connect tag - for options to see the relationships between two deceased persons from the FamilySearch Family Tree.

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

    As 'Amy' has already proffered ...

    Short Answer: 'Yes', this is a way through (BYU) RelativeFinder.

    IF, one's "Ancestral" Lines, are extensive enough in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'; THEN, using (BYU) "RelativeFinder" is the go.

    Can I humbly suggest that a place where you should be able to 'See' your "Relationship" NOT only with, "Famous People"; and, many, "Others"; but, ALSO between, (1) yourself and a "Deceased" individual/person; and/or (2) two (x2) "Deceased" individuals/person; and/or, (3) yourself and a "Living" User/Patron; 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"

    "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'.

    User: "User: "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'.

    User: "User: "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'.

    User: "User: "Relative Finder _ BYU _ Connect with Friends.jpg""

    Magic

    Enjoy

    Good Luck.

    I hope this might help, somewhat.
