My thoughts exactly. But I might also add that starting in version 7.0, the relationship calculations must be redone whenever new people are added. It no longer does it on the fly as in previous versions. I would suggest to the OP that he go back and use the tool to re-calculate relationships to the maximum value allowed. I might also add my congratulations on having a database that goes back to your 25th Great grandparent. But now I'm starting to wonder if that if really plausible. Twenty-five generations back? Good grief, what year would that take you to? The year 500? Just wondering.

I'd have thought that the sister of your nth GGF would show as your nth GGA, that being her state at time of birth. (but then again I've been wrong before and I'm sure I'll be wrong again!). Bill -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, December 15, 2009 10:20 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [LegacyUG] Relationships Incorrect I have a 25th GGFather and GGMother with two children, Ralph & Cecily. Ralph and Cecily are each direct ancestors of mine. This is shown correctly in Legacy by Ancestor Color Coding and by Direct Line bolding. Ralph is shown as my 24th GGF, married to my 24th GGMother. BUT, Cecily is shown as my 24th GGAunt, married to my 27th GGFather. So I guess Legacy can't figure out what to call my relationship to Cecily, even though it knows she is a direct ancestor, as evidenced by the correct Color Coding and Direct Line bolding. So Relationship Calculator is useless for me, because it is not only the far distant ancestors where this occurs; those are just easier to find in my database. Is NAMING the correct relationship just too complicated for Legacy? Is there no way this can be fixed? If this cannot be fixed, PLEASE advise us users accordingly.
