I see someone asked a similar question - but as they were advised to upgrade and the issue not really answered, may I ask my similar question - I am using Family Tree Maker 2009.

Family Tree Maker 2009 is insisting that Diana Spencer, the Princess of Wales, is my "23rd Cousin, 5x removed, in law".

Well, yes she is - but as her 4x great grandfather, John Spencer is also my 7x great grandfather, that is obviously a ridiculous way of putting our connection :(

How on earth do I tell Family Tree Maker to use the closest (and most logical) connection? As my family lines are pretty inbred in places, all my relationship information now is just a mess.

Any help with this would be very gratefully received
