    I'd like to select 2 people from my gedcom file (4th cousins) and have their direct ancestry graphically displayed back to their common ancestor.

    Is there a way to do this?

    You'd have to manually create it.

    I'm not aware of any particular software that will automate it.

    Thanks. I've done it manually, but was hoping for a more elegant solution.

    I run a large family tree and it's nice to show new members how they're related to me.

    You can do a version of it in Ancestry's built-in tree, but you have to add everyone in the chain in.

    DNA painter can be used to make a small tree to display connections https://dnapainter.com/tools/probability

    Thanks, but I might as well do it by hand then.

    Will that work for me if I pick 2 people from my gedcom file? ie show me their relationship and possibly the intervening links.
