There are many examples found on other member's pages. Here are just a few....
From my own page:
Famous Ancestors
All relationships below are from the WikiTree Relationship Finder, and may be through either of my parents (who were 11th cousins) or possibly both. Because the recent changes to the WikiTree Relationship Finder only goes back 15 generations to start, and then to 30 generations if I choose to dig deeper. This will be updated periodically due to others making changes on WikiTree.
