Minor issue: For some reason, my fourth great grandfather Jens Marcussen is listed as my 'second cousin 6 times removed' (which he probably is, not that I have been bothered checking). However, he's primarily my 4th great grandfather, and I'd like to have him listed as such. Any ideas as to how this might be done?

One tactic that may work -- click on whichever parent you connect to him thru as 4th great-grandparent - see that geni gives that relationship correctly (ie your father of mother) Then click on whichever parent of his/her you connect to Jens as 4th greatgrandfather -- and keep doing step-by-step --thus walking Geni thru the path you want it to find. I have read that this often works.
