Select to run a List of People report from the Reports menu of the Main
Menu. For the Subjects of the Report, choose the Filtered Group option and
either Edit a selected filter or Add a filter (you can give it a unique
filter name or let TMG give it a name). Either way the Add or Edit will
open a Report Filter window. Click on the Field down arrow and choose the
appropriate Relationship Tag. Then under the Subfield, choose the Child ID
(or Parent ID) option. Select the <> Does Not Equals option under the
Operator and enter a zero in the Value field. Assuming that you only have
the one filter line (if you find the child, you can easily find [but don't
need to] the parent and vice versa), choose the END Connector. Save the
filter and run the report.

As noted above, when you find the child and change those Tag(s) (e.g., the
Father, Mother or Parent Tag), you will have taken care of the
corresponding Child, Dau, or Son Tag(s).

Hope this helps -
