It's unclear whether you mean the Relationship displayed above the
individuals in Family View is incorrect or you are confused by
the viewing of 1/2 kids.
The ability to View 1/2 kids in Family View is for the convenience of
the user.
It is not an attempt to put on screen a Family Group Sheet.
The 1/2 shown simply indicates that the child is the child of only
one of the parents showing.
However I think you probably mean the relationship shown when there
is more than one relationship between the person and the originating
person for set relationships.
You would prefer one to show whereas it actually shows one of the
other and more distant relationships? Some prefer the more distant
relationship to be shown as the closer relationship is already well known.
Or are you saying that the relationship displayed is incorrect rather
than another possible?
The first is a frustration since we can't choose which relationship
to show, the second is a bug.
I agree there is a bias towards full relationships in the Legacy
calculator or is it a bias towards the paternal line? There are some
documented bugs when half relationships are involved especially when
some parents are unknown.

I just recently upgraded... finally from Legacy5 to Legacy6 Deluxe.
One one of the persistent problems I have had with all prior
versions of Legacy [since Version2] is the correct display in the
family view for descendants of "half" relatives when that 'half
relative' marries another relation in my database. All descendants
are displayed based on the non-half relation which is frequently a
much more distant relationship. Using the relationship calculator
the descendants' relationships are displayed correctly. Why can't
the family view display the correct relationship?
