    6G/7G & Time Machine

    Yesterday, I realised that two of my Maurice Talibarts were the same person and merged them. The results looked alarming, so I used Time Machine to go back an hour and start again, and re-did the merge 'by hand' a step at a time (so reassuring to be able to do that!).

    Anyway, the result, which I am now satisfied is correct, is that a certain Vincent Talibart is my 6G grandfather by one route and is also my 7G grandfather by another. Now, when I do a fresh Find Relatives, Reunion in some sense has a choice, and it opts to give him the 6G rather than the 7G. Well, OK - but I'm intrigued: how does it decide that?

    Reunion will always attempt to assign the closest blood relationship when identifying relatives. 6G is used because there is one less generation between you and 7G.
