Relationship Calculations

dannygrizzle1

I am doing historical research and need to calculate relationships between multiple individuals, not including myself. Is that possible?

=====

Specifics: in the early 20th Century, the Church built and staffed a school in the LDS community of Kelsey, Upshur County, Texas. I am researching for a documentary history of Kelsey.

Several members of the Bennion family possibly had a role in Kelsey history:

Adam Samuel Bennion (2 December 1886 – 11 February 1958) Apostle. Previous calling appears to be a precursor of today's Church Commissioner of Education.

Samuel Otis Bennion (9 June 1874 – 8 March 1945) First Council of the Seventy, previously President of the Central States Mission. Bennion Hall, the gymnasium at Kelsey School, was named in his honor.

Merrill Bennion (7 July 1894 - 21 August 1966). Married Geneva Lindsey of Kelsey, who happens to be my grandmother's sister.

Others

ElRay LaVar Christiansen (July 13, 1897 – December 2, 1975) Assistant to the Twelve. Previously served as superintendent of Kelsey School, which was staffed by a faculty of approximately 12 teachers sent to Kelsey as a Church calling.

The third-party site RelativeFinder (https://www.relativefinder.org/#/start) uses FamilySearch's Family Tree data to calculate relationships. It can show the relationship between any two public PIDs, as long as it's a direct one, i.e., the people had at least one direct ancestor in common. (For example, it would not find a relationship between Merrill and your grandmother or her sister, unless they were cousins of some degree.)

In addition, desktop genealogical software (Legacy, Family Tree Maker, RootsMagic, and others) will calculate multiple relationships for any two profiles.
