I have tried to add "relationship" to each individual. For instance: 9G Uncle appears, but no relationship shows for his children. I have "relationship" checked in preferences.

You'll also need to do this again periodically after adding people since Reunion doesn't automatically calculate relationships from the current Source when you add.Montgomery, Alabama

Navigate to the family view you want to use as "source" (that's me in my family file), then click the Person menu (the small triangle in the upper right corner of his/her person "button") and choose Find Relatives. You might want to look this up in the online manual for more.

Done all that and still not seeing relationships on new people added. I added a new great grandfather last night. His daughter ( my direct line) shows relationship but not him after doing what you suggested.

Of course, these are just intelligent guesses. It may be another reason that I haven't thought of.
Version 9 did calculate what I am trying to do now.

Re: Relationships
Steve said "Relationships are displayed if your preferences are set that way, and they are provided by Reunion only if you have it calculate them." The key is the last seven words. e.g. You need to reselect yourself as the source to make those additions show a relationship. Reunion does not automatically do it on the fly.
Thank you, Dennis. I don't have anything as removed as 9 times to look at. The most distant cousin in my file is a 5th twice removed.Bob White, Mac Nut Since 1985, Reunion Nut Since 1991
