I've been after Bruce to do something about kinship and the Kinship List for years and he won't even address the subject. I liked your Aarnie suggestion under "Trees and Kin" last June. Regarding the Kinship List, it is generated from the Find or Explore List. It seems inconsistent to be able to re-arrange the order of children in a family but no way to re-arrange the order of individuals with the same surname in the Explore list. You are forced to accept the same surnames sorted alphabetically by given name. IMO this leads to a poorly arranged Kinship List. For example, a grandchild whose given name begins with "A" will be listed before a grandparent whose given name begins with "Z". It doesn't make much sense to me. Charles Gohlke
