Hello All,
Could someone please check this for me?
Can someone repeat this?
I am trying to figure out if this is my computer file problem or if this is
a very small program bug.
This is in Legacy 6, not in the new add on for 7.
I ran a 19 generation report pedigree chart in Legacy. No problem.
If you have a lot of intermarriage in your database, the 'limit to'
option will reduce the number of common ancestors that are displayed
when you run the relationship calculator. The default is all.

Thank You for your response I appreciate it.
I think you are right about the why.
