So whenever I need to trace back a line I just go to the document find the person tagged with an earlier pi# and use the tree link off that tag. that person will give me a link to the next pedigree chart and so on and so on.  That allows you to jump multiple generations and view a pedigree chart at the same time. When you go to the tree view of that person its a direct line ancestor and you can see descendants on the left.
