Mary, Your situation prompted me to set up these folks in my sample db. I entered A, B, C (and D, C's husband). Then I tried the Relationship Calculator. I had A on the left, then I had to select the person on the right. So, if I select C or D, A is the daughter. Who were you entering on the right? Okay, so then I selected X (the grandmother) and it showed descent through B (birth mother). That's with B *OR* C/D as preferred parents. That is, I could not get it to show descent through C. In fact, if I put C on the right, the relationship (through common ancestor X) was "Niece" - correct. I entered B and C first as daughters of X. Then entered A as daughter of B, then D as husband of C, then linked C/D to A (child status and both relationships=Adopted). But surely the sequence in which you entered the data cannot determine what is displayed in the relationship calculator??? Hmm... a good mystery. --Paula

I have marked the relationship to the Aunt and uncle as "Adopted". The Relationship Calculator shows "A" as the daughter of "C". I feel this is a secondary relationship?. Surely the R.C. should show the primary, blood relationship, ie descent from A's grandfather ? Have I missed a step somewhere?
