Besides the rotating through spouses (and thanks, I didn't know about the rotating through siblings!).... I love the view 1/2 kids. In Family view - right-click on a child (any), and then from the menu that comes up, select Vies - Show 1/2 kids. You will now see any kids that have one parent from the family (and a parent not in the family being viewed) - along with the name of the other parent in brackets.
