Sandy --- I am not sure this will help but here goes: Be sure your name is in the upper left hand box as the Root Person Click on Tools Choose Prefence Choose File See the Relationship Indicators Check Show Relationships on status bar OK OK and in the far lower left hand corner you will see your relationship to whoever is highlighted (i.e. 1st Cousin 3 Times Removed) Autumn in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sandy Rozhon" <[email protected]> Subject: [PAF-5] Will PAF show me the connections? I have a very large family tree with many side branches (ie. following various spousal families) and from time to time I find that someone's name is in my file but the path to them from me is so convoluted that it is hard to figure out.

Thanks for your help, however, I am not a blood relative of the person I am trying to connect to, thus the relationship tool will never give me any results. I was hoping there was something else with PAF that would work, or perhaps someone would suggest software that could do what I want. So far I've received a suggestion to look for a gedcom reader that might have this feature. Maybe someone else will know which one or have another piece of software in mind.
