Ruth, I still have not been able to replicate, I take it that by "chapter" you are referring to a generation. I can only go to 8 generations, and I have previously heard of problems arising only in very specific circumstances. In another post you referred to repeated surnames. These do arise where the descendant is via the maternal side and the ancestors of the partner is known.
