Allen,
I guess I wasn't clear.... I only label a person with an M (for
multiple) if I am
descended from two or more of his/her children. The parents of a
person with an M
flag go back to having an A (for ancestor), unless I am also
descended from 2 or
more of their children (and I do have cases of that, as well). I
did it that way
so I can track just the people that I have multiple lines from,
or I can do a
list of people to get the people to whom I have multiple lines
plus their
ancestors.
I think I have all the people who should have an M labelled with
one. However, if
someone has figured out a filter for a list of people that are
ancestors of a
person more than one way, I would be very happy for details.
