I agree completely that the direct relationship should be the one  
displaying. I reported this a while ago as a bug, I'm sorry to hear that it's  
part of 
the programming. If I didn't always set direct line as preferred before  I set 
relationships when I add people to my family tree, I might never have  noticed 
this. I'm sure there are many more of these than the ones I  happened upon.

I have just heard from Brian at Legacy that the program shows the CLOSEST  
relationship rather than the DIRECT relationship.  There is no other  option!
 
We need to let Legacy know that what is easier for programmers  (CLOSEST) is 
not what genealogists need (DIRECT).
 
They need to have DIRECT as the default setting with an option for  CLOSEST.

And then the problem is compounded when Legacy finds the  closest
relationship to one person in the marriage. Speaking of  Direct
Ancestors which should always be grandparents, if it find the  closest
relationship to one person in the relationship is an aunt/uncle  or
cousin, then the spouse is Wife/husband of which indicates no  blood
relationship. If I didn't have Set Direct Relationship as  Preferred, I
would never know by looking at the relationship printed that  the
person was my grandparent.

There must be a way to correct  this, as I have used many other
programs and they do display and  calculate the relationship correctly.
