Dennis, Good point about features which have been removed, although Legacy tends not to mention these! The problems with the relationship calculator seem to have been largely resolved with the last two updates. I think I am right in saying that the introduction of including non-blood relationships were the start of the problem, and that they largely arose when there were same family marriages, especially multiple ones. There may be indications that in these circumstances there may still be the odd problem - Mary Young mentioned one on this list - but otherwise they work fine. I do not have any marriages involving cousins (or at least none that I know of), so I have never suffered from these problems, the main ones which effected me were in the reports and the sourcing of reports - it was the latter which caused problems in my web pages. These have been resolved.
