This reminds me of a need I had a while back, when working on a DAR application. I needed the Lineage report, but I needed it to "know" the lineage between me and my Patriot. The Lineage report now just starts at one end and goes through the male line. I my lineage went through my mother and her mother, then all men. Does this sound line anything anyone else would use? It's sort of a combination of the Lineage report (shows spouse and siblings) and one side of the Relationship Calculator (which works its way through men and women). Think I might just make a suggestion... Thanks, --Paula

Thanks for explaining it better than I could. Neither a DNA chart nor Relationship will do the same thing.
