The relationship calculator does provide a lineage chart in two columns showing the line of descent for the two individuals. If there is more than one common line of descent, it does require more than one chart. Usually, when I have this situation, I select the closest relationship unless the person is asking about a specific person.

I did say a chart which I don't believe Legacy can do but would be glad to be corrected. Also the Legacy Relationship Calculator can only handle fairly simple relationships. I am often in contact with someone who is related to a person who is already fairly distantly related to me, it would be good to be able to send a chart explaining the exact relationship. Some might say that they don't matter if not in the direct line of descent but I have got some quite valuable information in the past from people who were quite distantly related to me.

        One useful facility in Legacy Charting would an option to
        produce a chart
        showing the relationship between two people.

        I am often in contact with people quite distant relationships.
         Sometimes it
        can take a bit of digging to find how they are connected and
        also then I
        have to explain to them the relationship.

        I would like to be able select two people in Legacy Charting
        then get a
        chart showing the path between them (which could be through
        several
        marriages).
