I think this one is going right over my head. House of / Descendants of
- what's the difference? Each line can be printed with an alphabetical
listing of the names and email addresses. It could also be exported as
a .csv and imported into a spreadsheet (although I don't see the point)
and then another column could be created in which to paste House of
Whoever. Then repeat for the other 6 lines, import all those csv's into
the same spreadsheet, adding in House of WhoeverNext, and so on. And
then when it's altogether in one place, it can be sorted by columns,
can't it? I'm not a spreadsheet expert and frankly, can't see what they
have to do with this issue. If the writer of the original question
could pop back in here (haven't heard from him in awhile) and tell us
what the point is that might help. If he wants a listing of names and
email addresses for his various Houses (I think that was the question)
it's been covered.

If it's a matter of sorting by 'houses' wouldn't it work just as well to
create a list for each house? In other words, each descendant line. I
don't know what the point is after that, but the seven separate
documents could be pieced together if they all needed to be put into one.
"House of whoever" doesn't need to be in a column as that would be the
header for each document.

What you are saying is correct but as I read Kent's email he wanted the option to sort
and the "House of David" in another column. I cannot see how this can be done
using your method.

You can also search all the descendants at once or one line at a time,
set up the columns you want in Print Options and export the file as .csv
that can be imported into a spreadsheet. You've got all kinds of
options here and it shouldn't take long at all.

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?
