    Ask him to create a FamilySearch account, set up enough of a tree to connect him to deceased ancestors, then have him show you.

    As far as I am aware of how the system works, that is the only way.

    @JulieWalkins1 I believe @Gordon Collett is correct. Your husband needs to have a FamilySearch account with at least 4 to 8 generations added to his tree. He can then use the Famous Relatives feature, located under Activities in the banner across the top of the home page in FamilySearch. Here is a link that may help you get started. familysearch.org/connect/famous Enjoy learning more about your family!

    Why does my wife have to create her own account if all her details and generations are already filled in on my account? Why can't I find her famous relatives from my account?

    That's how the system works, for reasons of personal privacy.
