If you don't have a relevant ancestor, there are numerous profiles on wikitree which are also on wikipedia, with a free to use licence. And it would improve this site.

None of my ancestors are famous enogh, or infamous enough to get mentioned on wikipedia.
Hmmm...come to think of it, since you pointed it out, none of mine will be there either! Gosh, we are boring! :) LOL
Betty, you are anything but boring!!!! LOL
Pick someone from Wikipedia and add their picture here on WikiTree. It doesn't have to be someone related to you :)
Eowyn, I sure feel boring, quite often! :) LOL
