Many, many months ago I raised a similar problem with the relationship calculator. For example, Steve and Chris are father/son. They are also cousins as Steve's maternal grandparents were 1C. The cousin relationship appears until the lines merge with Steve and Chris. At this point, the cousin relationship is not found. I realize that purists might cringe, but being able to identify these inter-family relationships can be quite critical with a large file that has numerous inter-family marriages.
It is for this reason that I keep FTM. I have yet to find an instance where FTM does not find **all** the inter-family relationships. If FTM can calculate all possible inter-family relationships (such as father/son and father/son-are-cousins), why does Legacy not calculate the relationships? This discussion raises a more important issue. With respect to the relationship calculator and Legacy created reports, there have been many instances where problems have been documented for quite some while. I would urge Legacy to fully address and solve these known problems before we see anymore (in my opinion) useless bells and whistles such as the Geo database or a program link to the IGI, which is infamous for erroneous data. The best data and documentation is useless unless we can generate accurate reports.
