Ron and Dawn I realised what I did. I made a Descendant chart of the earliest ancestor with the particular surname ( Dawn I think, was wanting ancestors and siblings with same surname). You still need to make the new file from tagged entries as mentioned before and use that. You would need to do it for each name that she was following. Sorry to be confusing. Judy
Ron Yes I am using V7.0.4.6 and have been since it was released. I have just made a chart using Legacy Charting 7.0.120 with Ancestors and siblings. Judy Ron wrote Judy, It sounds as though you are not using the latest version of Legacy (V7.0.4.6).
