If I use me or my husband to do the relationship calculating, I only get
my side of the family or his. It seemed to be more complete if I use
one of the children. That particular child has died, but I would use
any one. (Using the dead one means the others cannot accuse me of
favoritism).

Thank you Elizabeth, I have taken this advice also given by others on

a process it is too.
I note you mention using your oldest child as a starting point for
relationship calculation, somone else mentioned that also. What is the
reason for that, why pick a particular person?

I have all of mine in one file, and so I can add (to only one file) my
children's spouses, and their families, if desired, my grandchildren,
and soon, the grandchildren's spouses and families. I also use my
oldest child as starting point for relationship calculation.
