Compute Relationships

 

When you pick Other from the main screen, and then Compute relationships, you will be able to enter the names of two people and the program will compute the relationship between them.  It will only find blood relationships and not marriage relationships.  It will find the relationship if both people have a common ancestor.

 

When you click Compute it will find the relationship.  You may then Preview or Print the connecting people.  If you click on the button for other relationships, it will check to see if the two people are related in more than one way.

 

This routine uses the ENGLISH.REL file for English, or the file ending with .REL if using a foreign language.  For example, FRENCH.REL.

 

Note: You can also compute relationships on the Descendant report.

 

Note: You can also compute relationships if you pick Other, All Relatives of a Person and that report will compute marriage relationships.
