It IS an important aspect to genealogy, after all, and since FTM has had such a capability for umpteen years, I am sure Legacy programmers can do likewise....

I noticed the same results trying to run lineage reports for Mayflower Society and other lineage society applications. I ended up tagging each individual and running some report (don't remember which) from there.

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.
