Hi John,
The easiest way to find the Most Recent Common Ancestor is to use the
Relationship Calculator between the two people of interest (on the
Tools menu).
This can be printed as a simple chart and shows the line of both
people back to the common ancestor.
I think this is a Legacy Deluxe feature.
Cheers,
Cathy

The following question derives from two events: (1) a recent reunion
of a dozen family members some of whom didn't know each other and
their relationships; and (2) the finding of several DNA related individuals.
The question is: can "tagging" be used to find to find the MRCA
[Most Recent Common Ancestor]? I would then export to a new database
(or hopefully directly within Legacy 7) for charting.
I know I can tag the individuals and then - with advanced tagging -
tag with the same tag number all their ancestors. However, how then
to find the MRCA other than trial and error since all tagged lines
will go to the most "distant" ancestor - not the most "recent"?
