Here is a simple 3 step process to create a "Relationship Chart" in TMG/VCF between person with IDs M and N.

 

Step 1: Create a temporary custom flag REL_CHART (N,Y) set using the secondary output of the List of People report using filters like

 

ID EQUALS M OR

ID EQUALS N OR

( Is an Ancestor of ID M OR

Is an Ancestor of ID N ) END

 

and Then Add check [X] Spouses

 

Set REL_CHART to Y

 

Step 2: Run a standard Relationship chart bewteen A and B noting which case applies

M and N have a common ancestor C

M is direct descendant of N implying N is equivalent to C

N is direct descendant of M implying M is equivalent to C

 

Step 3: Create a VCF Descendant Box Chart starting at C

using the option only include persons with flag REL_CHART = Y

 

The rest is up to you create a layout and content of the VCF chart.

Thank you. Yes, but...

 

It would be much nicer if one clicked on Relationship Chart, then entered M and N? Done.
