My first answer has not come through and maybe it isn't going to. I
don't think it's complicated at all and yes, Legacy can do it.
Search each of the seven siblings, one at a time, using Miscellaneous
Search and print out the list you want using the Print Options in the
Name List. It sounds like you want names, email addresses and "House
of". "House of" would be your title for each print out. Under
Customize choose name and email address and blank the rest of the columns.

Oh well..... Yes, I know how to do it with a spreadsheet, and have
done it
with Word Perfect before. I just don't WANT to do it again, since I'd
have to re-type all those names that are already in Legacy.
Thanks Ron.

Kent,
I don't know a way of doing that in Legacy and I suspect you would
need at least a spreadsheet to do it rather than I would processor
(although I have not thought that through). The free database
which I will be putting on my fergys.co website at the end of this
month will do it.

Is there any kind of report (file) Legacy can make that will show
simple
line items, such as:
Kent Myrick House of David E-mail address
I need to be able to sort the file. I can do it in a word
processor file,
but it would really simplify things for me if Legacy can do it
somehow.
Why? Several years ago we had a Frazier family reunion. Our
immigrant
ancestor had 7 children, and just for fun, we divided the group up by
their names, e.g. "House of David", "House of Isaac" and so
on. We had
name tags and a hand-drawn chart showing each House and the members
of each who were at the reunion. It turned out to be a fun way of
creating
smaller groups of closer relatives, and we photographed each House
separately.
We kept lists of each House by hand back then, but all have since been
lost and re-creating them is a labor I'd rather not take on
again. BUT
all those people are in my Legacy file, and if I could somehow
permanently
note them in a file, I'd be ecstatic.
I know there's one way to do it with the Address File. There are
already
blanks for name and e-mail address, and I could put the House in
any of
the other fields that I don't need. But there's no way to sort
that list
and print it out except by using the Name Tag function, which doesn't
do what I need. Or is there????
And I don't want to use the Tags because they're not permanent
markers.
Is there any other way?
