Charlotte has tried my suggestions off list, and still cannot find the connection between the two lines. Obviously it is by marriage, otherwise the Relationship Calculator would show the common ancestor. How on earth can she locate the connection?
Any advice other than a person-by-person review (going up and down each branch of her tree until the Set Relationships option shows a title over a person's name)? Or is that the only option, involving thousands of people? Susan Daily On 2/18/06, Susan Daily <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Step-by-step: First unlink your marriage.
