Re: Jessie Davis I hope that this is what you are referring to. When I enter anyone into my database, I use the Ref. No. fact. I have a code for each of my direct family names, ex. Robinson- RBS, Dougall-DGL, Hunter-HNT so that when I enter John Smith who has married a Dougall cousin 5 x removed I enter DGL in the Ref. fact, then I can automatically see what line he is connected to. Hope that makes some sense. Linda V. (new to the list and FO9)
