Advanced Filter in Relationship Finder Incomplete?

Question

When using the advanced filter, the results shown for the third relationship returned are not complete compared to the relationship returned for just this relationship pair.

Example -- Daugherty-1173, Pulver-624, Hollenbeck-72

For Daugherty-1173 and Pulver-624 the Relatonship Finder returns this result.

Adding Hollenbeck-72 to via the advanced filter and selecting Catherine Reinhardt (Reinhardt-154) adds this additional result.

The interim relationship trail hyperlinks in this Reinhardt-154 to Hollenbeck-72 result do not work. The DNA confirmed tags are also missing from the relationship trail. Compare the additional result to this result for Reinhardt-154 and Hollenbeck-72.

Not a major issue, but I thought I'd mention it, in case it had not been noticed.

Good observation. What I see is:

For the first two relationship trails, the names of the people in the trail are hyperlinked to their profiles, but for the third and subsequent trails, the hyperlinked URLs are all just https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/

Answer 1

Thanks, John. I'll add it to our list to look into.

Answer 2

Hi John,

I am looking into what may be happening here. Our advanced filter isn't quite as complete as we'd like because it would just take so much time. One thing we suggest is making sure that you find the most distant trail first, then add closer connections following that, as explained here: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Relationship_Finder_for_Genetic_Genealogy#Experiment_with_the_order_in_which_you_add_additional_IDs

Does that help at all? We're trying to track down whether this is a bug or a future point of improvement.

Thanks!

Thanks, Abby,

I had discovered that on my own.

I now see the comment under "Experiment ..." but I had not noticed it the first time I was there. I might not have missed it had it said something like "Results may be sensitive to the order in which you add additional IDs."

:-)
