Just my 2 cents for what it is worth. How can one be a cousin to oneself since relationships are amongst 2 different people??? Is it because 2 brothers married 2 sisters and then decided to switch partners and have children with their partners too? I can't comprehend being a cousin to oneself.

You wrote: "As an example, my gr gr grandmother was married twice. Her second marriage was to a person who is a 2 cousin rx4 (relationship to me). She had two children. They both show correctly as Half great grandaunt, but both of them also married (relationship to me) 4 cousin r1 and 2 cousin r3. Both had children. All of the children display relationships based on the 4 cousin and 2 cousin relationships NOT from my half great grandaunts." Earlier today I posted a problem wherein Legacy could not find the 3C1R relationship between my brother-in-law and his son. The source of the problem appears to be that Legacy is not programmed to find multiple relationships for the same individual, i.e., my brother-in-law is a 3C to himself and it is from that he is a 3C1R to his own son. For example, in the relationship calculator enter yourself on both sides of the dialog box. You'll get an error message. I am certainly no programming expert, but I suspect that you have a similar problem, i.e., it is not that Legacy can't find half-relationships, rather somewhere in your data I've quoted, that "Joe Brown" is a cousin to himself and it is at that point the relationship calculator is failing. Permit me to make a suggestion. (I realize that you've complained about this since v2.) Export a stripped GEDCOM with only names and dates/places of b/m/d. Send that to tech support with a detailed message, including names and RINs, of where Legacy is correctly finding the relationships and at what point the calculations fail. Ken did tell me that this issue is a priority and the more detailed data everyone can provide, the quicker the problem can be resolved.
