Hey Tony, I have done quite a bit of searching and, at least so far, I have found no solutions to the problem I was trying to address, just comments on how difficult the problem is when there are bi-lineal relationships.
I may not have put enough explanation in my initial post. What I might not be making clear (see "children of" picture) is that Person 1 is, say, the father and Persons 2 & 3 are the mothers. Persons 4 and 5 have the same "father," but not the same mother. That's why I have the word "with" before the names. I played with Kin filter to replicate what I had and couldn't quite get there. I came close, but couldn't get past the "flatness" of the lists generated by the kin filter Maybe I gave up too soon, but since I had a solution that worked, I didn't want to spend any further time on it. I've used the TOCP plugin a lot in my wikis and love it. At this point, I don't see the problem changing whether I use fields or tags, but I could be wrong. I used tags for this because of the operators tags and tagging which made things relatively easy.
