How related - Married couple

Post by johnmorrisoniom » 10 Aug 2011 12:35

Is there anyway to show how a couple may be indirectly related, as well as being husband and wife? i.e cousins or such by marriage.

You can see it on the How Related tool.

Where were you trying to show it, you could add a line to a diagram on the spouse box or family query using something like

=Relationship(%FAM.HUSB>%,%FAM.WIFE>%,TEXT,2)

With the how related tool, indirect relationships are not shown if direct ones exist (or at least I've been unable to make it do so). So in my example, a married couple will be shown as that, and nothing more. Or have I missed a tweak?

It seems to be working fine for me.

What are you trying to show?
