CC7-views offers incomplete information

Question

Because of privacy rules (which?) CC7-views has been changed. Results of CC7 views are now incomplete. When I select Get Degree 5 only the result is 342 profiles although in my Connection Count I have 804 profiles (degree 5). When I look for missing siblings CC7 views shows sometimes no siblings although for example Houting-9 has in fact 8 siblings born between 1747 and 1766. On the other hand Okkes-27 has correctly stated 4 siblings. These are born between 1760 and 1766. I don't see why and for what reasons this difference.

When I start with Houting-9 (Gett CC5) the result shows his siblings and also the siblings of Okkes-27 as it should be.

When I start with Okkes-27 (Gett CC5) the result shows her siblings, but no siblings for Houting-9

Answer 1

I have a theory on why this is happening. I have reached out to the WT team to confirm my theory and (hopefully) find a solution.

I am also writing some code to confirm my suspicions. I'll update here if I find anything.

@Riel: thank you, I am sure a good solution will be found

OK, I have confirmed my suspicions and have implemented a work-around for the problem with the API. Please run the CC7 app version at https://apps.wikitree.com/apps/smit641/cc7/#view=cc7 and let me know if you still have problems. Thanks!

Thanks Riël. Everything OK. Good job!

I think it works. I got proper / resonable numbers for the seven degrees of my test profile Larsdotter-1579. Seemed a lot slower than it used to be, but I suppose that comes from the algorithm exploring the network in a more tortuous fashion.

Thanks for working so much on this!

Answer 2

You answered this yourself, in the first line of your post:

"Because of privacy rules..."

Privacy rules shouldn't be affecting profiles of people born by 1766. All such profiles would have Open privacy.

@Ros: Thank you, but it would be useful to read more than the first line.
