TonyM,
If one individual had a single parents field with one or more (typically

Originally I started this route and it seemed like a good solution for
parents, but it led to duplication of siblings. If there is a family that
has a mother and a father, then I have to indicate to the father that the
mother is his wife and vica versa. I have to list each of the brothers and
sisters separately for brothers and sisters. After thinking through this, I
came to the conclusion that the family itself and its participants should
be accounted for in a separate tiddler. For example, I could create a "Mom
+ Dad's Family" tiddler with three fields: parents, parents relationship,
children. Each field would be a list of individuals (father, mother,
brother, etc.). If I'm wondering who are the chidlren of "father", I'm
looking for the family tiddler where "father" is in the "parents" field
("Mom + Dad's Family"). If I'm wondering about "father" parents, I'll find
which tiddler contains "father" in the "children" field ("Grandmother +
Grandfather's Family"). With this method, a "father" can belong to multiple
families because they are divorced in one family ("parents relationship"
field) and married in the other. One disadvantage of this is that it is
harder to do a recursive search (dad's dad).

You may have misunderstood me (or I misunderstand you): not the kin filter

Thank you for your encouragement and help! :)
