Hi Ron,
Again, I've entered some of the family as shown on your website - and
again can produce the problem with the Descendant Narrative report
with the child-parent relationship attaching to the wrong people.
I didn't think I could see it in my own file but when I checked the
same situation with biological father of child not entered, there it was.
There are other conditions where it doesn't happen. If I close and
reopen Legacy and run the report from Richard Pilkington, all is
well. Close the preview and the report and then go back into the
report and run it again, and the problem is there. <sigh> These bugs
that come and go are the worst.
I do use Opera as my main browser so I may have let you know I
couldn't see the drop down menus. I can now.
Cheers,
Cathy

Hi Cathy,
I have this circumstance (more than once) in my files and did not
recollect a problem. However to check this I have revisited them to
check it out and I cannot reproduce the problem. I have a Joseph
Hayes who married a Margaret Pearson who already had a child, Martha
Lydia Pilkington, daughter of Richard Pilkington and Margaret ?.
Martha Lydia had 3 chidren before she married a William Ackers one
of whom was Edward Hayes.
I thought I had classed the children concerned as adopted but in
fact had them as Step. So I amended the records and rechecked, again
no problem with the Descendant Narrative report. I also unlinked the
children from their parents and then relinked to see if this would
make a difference - it did not To get a full picture you may like to
visit http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/fergys/genealogy/257.html (note no
www.). I appreciate that this will not show the problem but will
enable you to see better how the family fits together.
Btw I cannot remember if it was yourself or Carol who pointed out to
me that the Opera browser could not read my drop-down menus,
however, I am pleased to say that with their latest version (9 I
think) they have corrected the problem.
