What about using something like this:

IContentType attendanceContentType = ApplicationContext.Current.Services.ContentTypeService.GetContentType("attendance")
var items = ApplicationContext.Current.Services.ContentService.GetContentOfContentType(attendanceContentType).Where(c => c.ParentId == {specific Id})

That is close but not quite what I need.

The main issue is that the doctype I am looking for is not immediately under the parent. otherwise the .Where would work

Root

Location

Meeting

Attendee 1

Attendee 2

I am looking to get attendees for all meetings at a particular location

Thanks again

Ah, ok!  How about trying this instead:

                IContent node = ApplicationContext.Current.Services.ContentService.GetById({specific Id});

                ApplicationContext.Current.Services.ContentService.GetDescendants(node).Where(c => c.ContentType.Alias == "attendance");

Perfect!!

Thanks

Marty where abouts are you trying to get this is?  a razor file?  If so you will be better of going for IPublishedContent.
