Auto Fill Fields

I am not sure if "Auto Fill Feilds" is the correct term, but what I am trying to do is:

I am an absolute rookie at databases. I have modified the Student Records database that comes in the FileMaker Pro6 to use as a records for horses.

My problem is that I have created fields for the horses bloodlines and I would like to be able to enter a horses name, and if that name is already in the database, the

Sire and Dam (parents) and what ever other generations that are already in the database, would auto-fill.

SSSire

SiresSire

SSDam

Sire

SDSire

SiresDam

SDDam

This is an example above. Can't I make it where if the Sire is already IN the database, the other fields Auto-fill with the correct names?

ANY help would be appreciated! And PLEASE remember that I am an ABSOLUTE ROOKIE! ;-)

Thanks SO much!
