parent-child relationship missing

Assuming gedcom allows for it, I believe getmyancestors should retrieve and respect the parent-child relationship (bio, step, adopt, etc). The same goes for the "Preferred" status for the spouse.

GEDCOM 5.5.1 and 5.5.5 do in fact support this, using the PEDI tag and it's subtags. Few, if any, current applications support it, but it's definitely worth including, if FamilySearch offers the relationship data.

Here's a snippet from gedcom.org showing how it should look in GEDCOM. See the second FAMC record (@F2@), with @F1@ being the biological family:
