In the screen showing 'connections' from the weekly newsletter, there is a series of numbers, eg '3 branches (2-7-10) - what is this?

It's the # of blood related strings in the connections. (you are 19 degrees connected). Sometimes the branches/numbers show up for me, sometimes they don't...

2 - the person you are connecting to, and someone related to them (parent, sibling, child)

7 - the first of the 7 will be spouse of the (parent, sibling, child) then the rest will be various connections.

10 - again, the first will be spouse of the last of the connections in the last group, then the rest are blood connections to you.

(and switch the directions if the 2 group includes you.)

Many thanks!
That is different to my expectations, thank you for that.

Yours sincerely.
