'Step' relations in WebWonder

WebWonder version 6.00, along with the new !Relations and Relations.exe programs, can detect more relationships than was possible with version 5.00.

Cousins share grandparents. Half-cousins share only one grandparent and are now detected.

All the relations supported by WebWonder up to now have been 'enduring' ones. With the introduction of version 6.00, the so-called 'step' relations are now detected as well. In this case a child's father's last wife would be the child's step-mother providing she has not divorced the the father or the marriage was annulled. (She could, however, be deceased.)
