Years ago I did the Merge Procedure, in order to bring together my Mom's relatives (ancestors) and my Dad's relatives (ancestors). Would a Merge serve you purpose?

I tried this method, but I also want to have my uncles' and aunts' families included (cousins and their families, etc.). That's why I thought that "going down" two branches instead of "going up" would give me more information. In fact, my database contains more than my own ancestry, and I want to extract only my own with all related persons.
