26 March build - the specific problem I have with the relationship calculator: My great-grandfather had a 1/2 brother - the mother of this half-brother is not known at this point, so by *my* standards I do not enter her. If I place this half-great-granduncle on the left in the Rel. Calc., and myself on the right, the relationship is correct (half-great-granduncle) and shows my great-great-grandfather as the common ancestor. If I swap the two individuals, the relationship shown is that of 1st cousin 3 times removed, and the common ancestor(s) are my great-great-great-grandparents. Certainly the calculator should give the same descent path and common ancestors in both cases.

Note: this is *not* the exact same problem as reported by E. Rodier. This is *not* a result of something bad in my data. This is *not* an invitation to discuss (again) whether I should enter underscores or "unknown" or something else for the mother's name - I choose not to do so and the calculator should work anyway.

This half-great-granduncle, *and* his descendants, also do not get *any* relationship set to me with the "set relationships" tool.
