I wasn't taking out the blood related spouses. They're ancestors. If the woman who married great, great uncle Bill's DNA is relevant, then by all means leave them in. I'm not interested in DNA but I can't see how they're relevant. If they're relevant, then the whole connected file is relevant including all that woman's siblings and ancestors despite the fact they have no blood connection.
