Thanks Virginia However, the DirectLine dataset I create still only has 7 people using the revised filter i.e. those on the direct line, but not me or the ancestor at the other end, and no siblings! Is there perhaps another step that I am missing? Also, did you mean to say Descendant Box Cart? I think it is only Ancestor Box Chart that has Include Siblings on its Other tab. - Graeme

Thanks Virginia At the moment I think I am stuck on getting the DirectLine dataset created. You said: "Create a DirectLine dataset of the selected people: List of People / Options / Secondary output / Create new dataset. Filter the List of People for 'Is an Ancestor of _ ' (myself) and 'Is a Descendant of _' (chosen direct ancestor)." If I choose 'Is an Ancestor of _ ' (myself) AND 'Is a Descendant of _' (chosen direct ancestor), using my 6th great grandfather the dataset I end up with does seems to only have 7 people from my mother to his son - wouldn't I expect to also have their siblings in the dataset? Also, what is the simplest way to confirm how many people are in the currently enabled dataset? Is there a way to increase the font size on tool dialogs? - Graeme
