When you say parents of the in-laws and all their ancestors and
relatives - do you mean all your other direct ancestors and their
descendants or do you mean your eg your aunt by marriage's parents
and ancestors?
If the former, then do a Multiple Lines of Descent book including the
descent from each of your earliest ancestor pairs. You can see them
easily enough by following back the arrows in the Pedigree View or
print yourself an Ancestor or Pedigree Chart.
For those who are marrying into your blood relatives, it's normal to
include their parents but not the rest of their family in a
descendant report. So if you mean those lines - like I have my
brother-in-laws ancestors etc in my tree - they won't show in that
kind of report.
Re websites, I know you can put your tree on the internet and have it
accessible only to those with the correct password but I can't recall
where and how. Someone else will know.

We have only 10 or 12 generations going back 200 years. After
thinking about it, I realize now that the Descendants Book Report is
including just direct descendants of the earliest guy and isn't
including the parents of the in-laws and all their ancestors and
relatives. These would constitute separate lines (insert head-slap
here). So only about half of the people in the database are
showing up in the report.
I would speculate that the only way to print the entire database is
to know the earliest person of all the lines of descent and then
doing a Multiple Lines of Descent report. Is this the case? That's
not going to be possible for my file because there are going to be
so many lines. There probably isn't any way to organize such a
mass for printing.
On the one hand, I want to get as much info out to the family as
possible for error-checking. On the other hand, I know we have so
many errors that I don't want to mix our data in with publicly
accessible databases such as Ancestry.com.
What do other people do about this? I think we can put the database
and a copy of Legacy on a terminal at a local library. That would
be ok for the locals. Is there a way to put the database on a
private website and make it navigable by users?
