Why is it only Americans that are on the list?? Do you not have any famous “trees” for non Americans?
Answer from Geneanet: Don’t let this month’s batch of English speakers fool you! There are over 17,000 trees from countries throughout Europe and the world. If you browse by category — for example, Sciences — you will see nearly 1400 scientists from many countries.
