Hi Lorna, I believe I made myself not clear before. :-) I was actually looking for a bow tie chart that shows ancestors split to oposite sides. Like father ancestors to one side and mother ancestors to the other side.. The options you mentioned allow ancestors to one side and descendents to the other, right? Or am I missing something? Thanks!!!

OK, I see. In that case I think you will need to start with an Ancestors diagram with the father as diagram root, using Left-Right orientation, then use Insert into Diagram> Ancestor Tree and select the mother as the root, using Right-Left orientation. You can then position the second tree do that the two diagram roots (father and mother) are aligned, leaving a gap between them. Into the gap you can then insert a Text Box containing the name of the person who is the root of the whole 'Bow Tie'.

Hi Lorna! It works! It is not as intuitive and practical as I would expect. Maybe that would be a great plugin to be created in the future. :-) Regards and thanks!
