    Hi @JasminSimone. Many people have encountered the same issue, myself included. Most of the time, this is due to disagreements about who was and wasn't a child or spouse of an ancestor.

    While some thoroughly sourced research going back hundreds of years exists, there's a lot of erroneous information out there too. A common issue is when people take a tree from Ancestry or another site, assume it's correct, and then change it here to match. These changes sometimes are done and undone many times, causing the famous relatives feature to fluctuate frequently.

    To see if you are related to a certain famous person for sure, you would have to carefully examine the tree and make sure each connection is supported.
