Firstly, thank you Adrian. You are far more advanced than me, the stretching, moving and pulling fills me with terror! Larraine, these are not first cousins, it is the great grandparents of the couple who are the same. Yes, I too have admired the swoops. I think I am after the unobtainable! I usually do an ancestor tree as it cuts out all the siblings and takes up less space. I was trying to save time. I will do a descendant tree and hide the siblings, which will probably take less time in the long run. It is a good job that my new contact is descended from Susannah, and not her sister Emma, who married yet another distant cousin! They are all Duncalfs of course. On another matter, I think I have finally got to the bottom of creating new facts!! It's only taken me two years so perhaps one day I will be able to put two trees together, and do other more complicated things. :-) Thanks for the help everyone.
