I used that tool to help me fill in lineage group forms. (In L5?) I printed out the Relationship Calcualtor for my family member on one side and the ancestor on the other. Then hand copying the details. Some of the organizations are in process of getting a gedcom - based download system, but each group has its' own needs. What is the suggestion? Rich in LA CA

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