My sons are descended from Charlemange through about 80 different paths. I KNOW that this is too complicated to isolate in any kind of chart (for me at least). What you need to do first is Go to: Tools; Relationship Calculator; put yourself and one of the earliest ancestors into it. Then run the tool. This may show you how many paths exist, and help you decide if it is possible to make an 'easy' report. You might need to do some searching to find the earliest person, or accept that the tree actually looks like a Gordian Knot. Good Luck. Rich in LA CA
