I would usually be able to solve this problem by looking at the pedigree view - that gives four generations, and while I may have 1 or 2 gens going back on a collateral, I never have more than that, so the pedigree view will clearly show which line leads back to my line, and I can follow it further by clicking on the right arrow. If you do have more than 4 gens going back on multiple lines, just make a pedigree report, and view it on screen - you shouldn't have to go through very many pages before you see names you recognize.
