Thanks
yes I have tried the Relationship Calculator under tools and it lists many combinations for instance 27th Grand Aunt, 26th Great Grand Mother, 4th Great Grandmother of 19th Great Grandfather's sister's brother's wife and other such nonsense - it should allow the user to click on the desired realtionship to display in the right corner page box which I would bet would be 99.9% the direct line e.g Great Grandparent over anything else. I have had numerous e-mail ping-pong with Ancestry support and they advised me to purchase the 2012 edition to coreect a problem I was having with a maternal first cousin who was appearing as a 28th cousin in-law 4 x removed because of a mutual realtionship between her husband and my paternal line back in the 1500s - so I purchased the 2012 edition and it corrected that problem but has thrown up many others in these distant ancestor groupings that incidently and ironically displayed correctly in the 2009 version - go figure!
