It should be fairly easy to ensure that all ancestors of a person with an M
flag also have M flags. It would take two passes through the List of
People. I'll send details if you desire.

To make sure you have picked up all the nearest ancestors who should have M
flags is almost beyond the scope of the present filters, I believe. It
could be done by a tedious process of filtering generation by generation
and setting flags, and I would be glad to outline what I mean if anyone
asks for it, but the easiest way would be to set accent colors for your A
and M flags, and then step through the Tree View or the Family
View. Anyone with more than one child with an A flag should have an M
flag. You would have to watch out for multiple marriages.

Hope this helps,
Allen
