Thanks again for this tip (below).. as it does get my menus, but I
really want to know where my parent home is before hand so I can swap
out the header (previous post)
<skin:genericNav navID="#request.navid#"
startLevel="1"
id="navbar"
depth="2"
bActive="true"
bHideSecuredNodes ="true"
bIncludeHome="false">
