Determine the relationship of two ancestors in the tree
Given two of my ancestors (by ID is fine), what relationship do they have with one another? For example, a great response would be: "They are 5th cousins once removed; their common ancestor is George Neff (ABC3-8TF)."
The code for this would already seem to be in Family Tree since I can get a response like this for my own relationship to any ancestor. This improvement would be to allow me to determine the relationship of any two two ancestors in the tree. Of course, one response I might expect frequently is "These people are unrelated to one another."
Thank you for considering this!
