#125 Relationship Chart Paths

[Meliza Amity]

I have looked at the following relationships in the
attached file
A. I54 -> I2348
B. I2348 -> I54
C. I87 -> I2348
D. I2348 -> I87

I54 and I87 are cousins.
So would expect that A. and C. (and B. and D.) to show
a similar path through grandmother I63.

I would also expect A. and B. to show similar paths only
in opposite directions.

PGV does not create relationship paths based on the
above 2 assumptions.

I spent several hours last night working on this one. The
problem is that there are two different paths through both
parents. I will revisit this bug at a later date.

Here is a status update:

I have not worked on this bug since the previous posting, but
it still exists.

Any changes?

The problems exist still.
Make me uneasy of any relationpath solutions.

Now I87 is I1 in my big file.

I1 is related to I2348 by one step less than I54 is, and
also by the same number of steps.
So would expect to see both paths for I1.

I54 to I2348 gives a path with one step less than I2348 to I54!

I would also remove from the solutions any paths that are
the same as a previous shorter path, but with an additional
parent to previous person's sibling link or spouse to their
child link. These are trivial solutions.

I move this to 4.1

I87 is now I1.

It seems that for each number of relationship steps, only one solution is shown. This is why we miss relationship paths.
