A similar situation was discussed before (27 June 2008 under heading Relationship Calculator) but never resolved.
Legacy correctly calculates the relationship between me and my uncle as "husband of aunt", but when the names are swapped, it says there is no relationship. If there is a relationship one way, then there should be a relationship the other way. The reason for a relationship in either direction is because of a common connection. The other end of "husband of aunt" is "nephew of wife" Seems to me that even if my uncle is calculated as the husband of my aunt, he is still my uncle and should be listed as such. And I should be calculated as his nephew as well as my aunt's nephew or at least as the nephew of my aunt's husband. My wife's parents are not actually related to me either, but they are calculated as in-laws. I think it is a bug, because v7 returns that there is “no relationship” which is wrong. As far as I know, there has been no response from Legacy. Chick Lewis On Sat, Jan 23, 2010 at 2:05 PM, William Toomey <[email protected]> wrote: > Kevin, > > Thanks for the reply.
