[R-sig-ME] incorporate pedigree into lmer

I think you will find the members of this list helpful, but you have given zero information that we can use to help you with your problem. Please provide a representation of your model and a description of your data. Or better yet, some sample data. I don't have any idea what an "animal model" is (maybe others do), but if you can provide a statistical representation, maybe we can walk you through this.
