### 2/5 — Should be able to add more relatives

*2026-07-20, version 2.5.6*

I can only add parents, grand parents, aunts and uncles. Why is there no option for cousins or other family tree extension

### 2/5 — Not very useful

*2023-12-05, version 1.8.0*

I couldn’t enter accurate information on my grandparents or any earlier ancestors because the birthdate selector goes back only to 1900. My grandparents were born in 1879 and 1882.
