How are cousinships calculated?

We compare the ancestors of each spouse over 7 generations and display the first common ancestor.

Why do the ancestry tables stop at 10 generations?

We limit the ancestry tables to 10 generations (SOSA 1 to 1023), i.e. about 300 years.
4 generations = 1 page
7 generations = 1+8 = 9 pages,
10 generations = 1+8+64 = 73 pages
13 generations = 1+8+64+512 = 585 pages
For 13 generations there would be almost 600 pages of tables! And many books would exceed the 800-page limit.
