PLEASE DO NOT: send me information concerning your thread on the board as it should be posted on your request where all members can see it. PLEASE DO NOT: ask me for help with lookups as they should be placed on the boards to get the best possible result. PLEASE DO NOT: open your tree just because I have posted information on your thread as I will not be related. THANK YOU. Researching Carter, Cass and Walker in England.

If you use the "whole tree" display for your GR tree, then when you click on anyone in your tree you will see their relationship to you in a "floating" bubble above their name. In the same way you can change the "subject" of your tree and the relationships will show in relation to that person. It's quite a handy trick.
