Did the solution posted to the Gramps for Genealogists Facebook group not work for you? ![FB_IMG_16277843154004937](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/gramps/original/2X/4/4ba2d9e44219a293434777dc0f188238892c81ec.jpeg) ---

Try this filter. I used 2 generations so I could confirm that only myself and my 1st cousins returned in the filter. Should work for any generation. ![descendantgeneration](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/gramps/original/2X/9/93515cb2f912946018bdc4f9f9c85bd5cc2424ef.png) ---

There has to be some pattern. You need to identify how the missing & extra people relate to the Progenitor. (There might be a problem in how those families are connected. The missing people might not be ‘direct descendants’ of that Progenitor. The extras might be blended family.) [Set the Home Person](https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php/Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#Setting_Home_person) to the Progenitor. When you select some of the missing (or extra) people, the Statusbar should show the relationship. Set the Statusbar to show **Relationship to home person** in the [Display tab](https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php/Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#Display) of Preferences. Alternatively, you could select the Progenitor and look for the extra people in the [Relationship Calculator](https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php/Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Tools#Relationship_Calculator) ---
