What I've noticed is that lineages and relationships are calculated
primarily through the male line.....any maternal lines are not really
reported accurately. Let me give you an example...I am my own fifth cousin.
When calculating the relationship between my parents, the
relationship calculator correctly calculates and shows the lines of
descent and common ancestor HOWEVER..
When I calculate the relationship between myself and my siblings, the
relationship calculator traces the lineage through paternal lines and
does not show the name of the person (my 2nd great grandmother) who
is the actual link. It shows her in laws and grandparents as being
linkages...which is not necessarily incorrect but also not all that
accurate. Being able to select and/or specify all linkages would be nice.
