Creating Custom Lists in TMG, by Ernest Wiltshire. Second Site contains a Notable Ancestor feature, (which I have not used). However, based on a method suggested by Terry Riegel, one can, within TMG itself, create lists of unrelated people who will then appear grouped together in Second Site, eg. lists of clergy, the military, etc.
