Default How would I set up a Genealogy tree?

Kym,

I would suggest you think about buying a proper genealogy program for this
purpose. The best I have been able to locate is called "The Master
Genealogist". It was recently released in version 6.

Excel is not really designed to hold this kind of data and I think you will
find that in time you will want to add additional bits of information (such
as birthdays, anniversaries, etc.) and you will quickly out grow Excel's
capabilities for such a project.

Maybe someone else will post another suggestion. I hope this helps you out.
