Hi

The "view relationship" feature is great.

There's a minor problem, only relationship is shown, there might be more.

Perhaps you're already know.

For example Laurs Eberhardt Laursen MN5L-TJK. He's shown to my grandaunt Cecilie Mariane Sørensen GWXQ-BDK 

His mother is Johanne Nielsen KLXW-Z6J, she is my 3rd cousin five times removed, then he's my 4th cousin.

That relationship is not shown.

    The View Relationship function deliberately shows only the shortest path.

    RelativeFinder (https://www.relativefinder.org/#/start) is a third-party site that uses the data from FamilySearch's Family Tree to calculate a variety of relationships. You can simply use your FS login credentials to access it.

    Have you seen the latest version?

    That feature can not be found.

    And it doesn't start with /#/start it is now /#/main which does not allow you to sign in, has to erase this part before logging in.

    Have you seen the latest version?

    That feature can not be found.

    I found the feature "See your relationship with a deceased person" just fine in the current version of RelativeFinder, using the Connect menu (https://www.relativefinder.org/#/connect).

    And it doesn't start with /#/start it is now /#/main which does not allow you to sign in, has to erase this part before logging in.

    I was able to use the /#/start version of the URL, which took me to the sign-in page. I was able to sign in with no problems. I couldn't get /#/main to work.

    /#/main continues to show up and I have to erase it in url before I can sign in. I didn't type it in.

    As for Connect - you missed my point.

    I don't want to see MULTIPLE cousins. I want to see ONE cousin through different ancestors.

    If you go to "Help" and click on "All relations"

    You will see this:

    "The all relations page is accessed by clicking on the "view all relations" button found on any of the tables Relative Finder uses to show your relationships with found relatives.

    It is common for a person to be related to someone else through several different lines. This page shows all of the lines we found to one of your specific relatives as shown in the image above.

    As with the other tables, you can click on the relatives name, and it will show you the line connecting you to that relative through the common ancestor."

    This feature is GONE from the current version. GONE! It was there in previous version. I sent message to the programmers about this disappearance.

    W D asked: "Have you seen the latest version?"

    Given that RelativeFinder's default claim is that I have no relatives, no, I haven't used it lately.
