I don't know if this is helpful or not, but I think Cathy has summarized correctly, from the trials I have done. The omission of my brother's fourth marriage does seem to occur when his generation is the last one in the report...there are actually two generations after him (he has children and grandchildren). So, without re-running all of my trials again, I believe the instance of the omission was consistently when his (my) generation was the last one.
Now, I must say that it is entirely possible that the NOTES were there in all cases (and probably has nothing to do with whether the fourth marriage is included or not). I was running reports at great speed and now believe that I was possibly fast-forwarding through the report to see if the marriage was there and did not notice that later in the report, the notes are there (when each sibling is listed again)--I was looking at the list of children to my parents, where marriages are listed but no notes. So, for those who may be trying to re-create the problem, I do not believe the Notes issue is actually a problem. I apologize. I have also run a trial through another family line, in case it was just occurring in the W Tibbets line. The same problem is also occurring there. It seems that the problem can be summarized like this: In a Descendant Book Report, if the last generation of the report is my brother's generation, it is omitting his fourth marriage. If the last generation is anything below him, the information is included. Thanks for all efforts.
