I have a table of members of alarge family extendending back to eight generations. The currentmembers contribute a monthly amount to the family fund. Only truedescendants are included in the family list, no wives, no husbands.There are two tables

1- Names with the following fields: idno (unique) --family member

 parentid -- id number of the parent who connected the child to the family

 etc

 etc

2– Contributions with fields: idno

etc

etc





NowI want to report Names and contributions par family tree: My ideal isto list grandfather, father, children based on the two fields (id,parentid). 


Any suggestions? 


Thanks in advance
