My husband and I share a distant relative. This distant relative had two profiles on geni, one managed by me, one by another member. I was able to trace my husband and myself to the different profiles. My husband was more closely related, about 8 relatives between; I was more distantly related, about 15 relatives. When the two profiles were merged, I am now ONLY able to trace the connection to this ancestor through my husband, because it's a shorter path. I'd love to be able to trace both paths.
I was looking up random famous people to see if I was related. Then my husband wanted to see if he was related too, but it only would trace the path through me, I assume because it's a shorter path. It seems like allowing users to trace the longer, more distant paths would be a great option. I'm wondering if there would be a way to make a trace, and have the option to NOT trace through a relative. Or maybe to show that there are multiple connections, so we could view various paths?
Thank you!
