Hello Sidney!
Welcome to the FamilySearch community, and thank you for your question regarding how you see your relationship to another user.
Relationship Viewing: How do I turn on or off the option to view my relationship to other users?
The relationship information is available when another user clicks your contact name in Family Tree or Memories. An option to view the relationship is displayed, along with the contact details.
You can enable or disable relationship viewing in your account settings.
If you need further help regarding this question, please reply directly to me by clicking my contact name next to my picture.
I would like to thank you for your desire to seek out your ancestors and wish you joyful success as you do your family history work.

Welcome to the "Community.FamilySearch' Forum.
I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...
And, further to what has already been proffered by '1BrydLady' ...
There is another option ...
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 "RelativeFinder"

"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 might ALSO help, somewhat.
