To-day I worked out a way to help me. I use the program Legacy which has the charting program. I searched for all the CULLODENs born before 1750 and in my case were C/I. I put the religion in the suffix spot so I can then search for all C/I's, similarly for R/C's. Yes I know that there were inter marriages but this is the way to start.
I then gave all the C/I Cullodens born before 1750 the same made up father - father of C/Is. I changed the requirements of information to be selected to be printed on the chart to as many events and information as possible. Before I printed out my chart I made the boxes as big as possible and then the whole chart as big as I wanted it to be [a bit of a waste of paper but anything that helps my mind is worth every penny.] Having printed out my chart I then cut up the different people or family groups and was able to move them around the table as I ascertained who could belong to whom, what generation did they belong to and also see more easily possible duplicates. It also meant that one could move them around to put them in generations on the table. All of this was great fun and very rewarding and I was soon able to see that that odd one around must be this person's brother for example.
