Talked with a person at work, that is closer to retirement age, and he tels=
 me=20
that moster/faster/farbror/morbror is bether to use to know witch gender/si=
de=20
of family we are talking about, but these terms have disappeared in Norwegi=
an=20
in the last 30-40 year. To get the right gender/side of family it is more=20
correct to use them, but this can lead to confusion to what the connection=
=20
actually means. A possible solution to this could be to use both, if for=20
example the calculator respons with "mosters datterdatter", it should also=
=20
include in parentheses "kusines datter".  If this is technically possible, =
I=20
don't know ...
