Kurt, Very good simplification. Not sure if it will complicate the pictures request portion of the question but it will definitely work for the descendant reports. Ron Taylor

Tag the ancestors of your target individual with the option to include siblings (there is a further option to include the spouses of the siblings). Export that set of tagged individuals. From the exported database, you can run the Descendant Report that you want from the desired ancestor. In addition to requiring only 1 tag (instead of 3), you have the additional benefit of being able to run the Descendant report from any other ancestor of your target individual without having to repeat the tagging and export process.

My method, which I first published in November of last year at http://www.fergys.co.uk/Blogs/Y-DNA_Search.php gives an illustrated and detailed explanation. Additionally it also explains how to derive a similar out put for the female side of the family, suitable for mt_DNA comparisons if required.

Is there a way to limit a descendant report to tagged individuals? Also, I see an option in Picture Scrapbook to include only tagged media files, but I am not sure how to tag media files. I do not see a way to do so either from Picture Center or from the Media Gallery or from the Edit Picture screen.
