Diagram - specific lines

Post by Hanning » 30 Mar 2023 03:36

I have a flag that I apply to individuals who are in a direct line from a MRCA to a DNA Match. I want to create a diagram that shows only those with that flag thus showing only the matches back to the common ancestor. I've managed to get the names and dates of those in the path of descent, but am also getting all joining lines to the hidden siblings.
Can anyone suggest how I might achieve my goal?

I don't believe there is any automatic way you can remove those connecting lines from such a Diagram.

Have you considered using the Tools > How Related... command and select the MRCA person and DNA Match person?
Then use Display Graphically... and Hide Spouses & Siblings.
If you set the default Diagram Options for whatever display features you want that should produce what you want.

Thank you Mike - your suggestion worked of course, but I am trying to chart all the DNA tested descendants of the MCRA on one chart. I will go through and hide the unwanted.
Thanks for the quick reply.
