Hi Ron, Hmm... I'm surprised there's no one that has ever tried this. I do of course want the focus to be on my ancestors, so I don't want the sibling families... just the siblings listed along side my ancestor.
My reasoning is because I need a visual way to see the relation between many people with same or similar names. Raymond, Raymond J., etc. Any ideas at all about how to accomplish this?
