Is it possible to make a descendant chart from one ancestor down to a single descendant, without including all the siblings who are NOT ancestors of the descendant? This is something I want to do OFTEN, but I don't know which chart to choose and I can't see which boxes to check or un-check to

Nice thought, but that would apply to the other address too - Harrogate was in the former West Riding but is now in North Yorkshire. Whatever the explanation, I'd like to know what's going on. I've converted some of the locations in my current software to show the address in a separate field, but
