Thanks Peter. I shall hunt for it no more! I did find it useful for those smaller trees because, as you say, it did take some ploughing through with big trees. I think it used to cover 100 names at a time which was a good list length too.

I think the list you are referring to went some time ago. It was fine for small trees, but not much use for those with hundreds or even thousands of names.

Oh dear, then that is no good at all. You have to know who you are looking for, in other words. No way of stumbling across a name in a list which you can recognise without having to search for it.

Hi Hannah. I've tried that but it doesn't include the name list function unfortunately. There must be a way of getting a straight alphabetical list of a contact's tree individuals without having to do it by a process of elimination, surely.

Tracey , you can still access the old tree. At the top of the new tree it says back to old tree. Just click on that. I do it all the time Hope it works for you Hannah

Sorry, I'm having a stupid day at the moment. But HOW do I find the list of a new contact's relations? I used to be able to do this with the original old tree as it was an essential part of the navigation. However, I think it may have been phased out when that was replaced by the tree previous to the latest one. All I want to do is check through a list of my contact's names to see if there are any other coincidences with the wider family of my lot. It should be dead simple to do but I am at a loss how to do it.
