In PGV 3.4 Future Branch:

When the Ancestry chart for an individual is printed
with the "cousins" checkbox unchecked, PGV doesn't
print that individual's half-siblings.

    Gerry,
    could you please give more information, or an example.

    As stated, an individual's half-siblings are not considered
    to be "close relatives" in the Ancestry chart.

    I have three living and one dead half-siblings; we share the
    same father, but have different mothers.

    My Ancestry chart doesn't show my half-siblings unless the
    "show cousins" checkbox is checked. I think half-siblings
    of the root person of the Ancestry chart should be displayed
    whether or not the "show cousins" checkbox is checked.

    Is this fixed or is there a verdict if half-siblings should
    be shown or not.
    Can we close this bug?

    Regards

    This poblem has NOT been fixed, and there has been NO
    discussion on the subject.

    When the Ancestry Chart is viewed in booklet form, my
    father's two relationships are shown, but the children
    resulting from the second relationship (my half-siblings) do
    NOT show unless the "Show Cousins" checkbox is checked.

    This is wrong: Half-siblings are NOT cousins, and should
    NOT be treated as such.

    Half-siblings do not share same father AND mother, so they
    do not appear on parents family page.

    I agree that "show cousins" is not a good label. I suggest
    to replace it by "show grand children".

    Gerry,
    are you Ok to change label by "show grand children" in
    language files as suggested ?

    Sounds like a RFE.
