The issue is what do you mean by "related to me"? Blood relatives only? Their spouses? Their parents, siblings, and other spouses? You have to define that. There is an article on my website describing one way to create a "Related To" flag, using my definition of "related." You might have to modify it to suit your definition. It's at http://tmg.reigelridge.com/related-by.htm The Flag, once created, is very useful for applying accents to tell you at a glance who is related to you. Terry Reigel
