I've found the "View Relationship" feature to be very useful, and I think it would be nice to be able to input 2 ancestor IDs and compare the relationship between those 2 people, rather than just that person with yourself.

For example, this book is listed on the familysearch website.

https://www.familysearch.org/library/books/records/item/329367-biographic-memorial-of-john-eberly-and-genealogical-family-register-of-the-eberly-family?offset=2

The ID for the John Eberly who is the subject of that book is LH1Y-CMH.

I would like an easy way to check if another Eberly who lived more recently LH6Q-B6H is a descendant or perhaps a cousin of the John Eberly born in 1778. 

Another use could be family trees than extend past 15 generations. I understand there could be limiting factors that prevent relations more than 15 generations apart from being identified, but if the ability to input 2 IDs were implemented, I would be able to input the ID for a very distant ancestor of mine GZFL-BZL and a more recent ancestor LW54-XVF to easily find the relation.

Thank you for all you do to preserve family history.
