    Cousins

    Is it possible to create an Advanced Find preset to obtain a list of people (cousins) of the same generation with a common ancestor (grandfather, great-grandfather, gg-gf, ggg-gf) of a given person?
    I suppose it would be nice and useful. TIA

    You can find cousins of an individual by:

    1. go to the target person and identify Relationships for that person.

    2. In Advanced Find, use the following conditions
    Attributes>Relationships>Contains>Cousin
    And
    Attributes>Relationships>Doesn't Contain>R
    And
    Attributes>Relationships>Doesn't Contain>Spouse

        To limit the results to people from a common ancestor and control the degrees of relationship, there is another method that involves the Relatives sidebar. First, mark only the common ancestor couple and their descendants, otherwise the results will include cousins from both sides of the source's family - not all from a common ancestor and not all related to one another. Open the Relatives sidebar for your source and set it to list full cousins from marked people (image below). The range of the degrees is one less than the generation setting (i.e., a setting of 4 generations lists 1st, 2nd, & 3rd cousins). For 1st cousins only, set the generations to 2.
