Mark, I'm afraid that you are asking for too much! The fact is that the step/adopted children are not related to your family by blood, although because Legacy is a "Family" program it does allow a limited recognition of these children.
I think to get the condensed chart which you require you will have to add the children in a WP, although the Descendant Chart does not allow saving in the rtf format which is a bit of a bind.

You are right the report will show the relationships but unfortunately it is also very verbose. I may end up word processing the report I want myself. The problem I have is that all these programs are focused on the line of an individual, whereas I want the details for a couple. This is not meant as a criticism of reunion. Another example is a cousin of mine who is a close friend of mine. He has been with his current partner for 20 years. She had two children from a previous marraige. Stan has 3 children from 2 previous marriages. If we all get together at christmas or for a bbq etc there will frequently be Stan, Jane and their five children. However, if I use a descendent report It will only show his or her children, not all of them. If I set them all up as step children then they will be included but I wont know who the biological parent is unless I use the large descendant book report. What I am after is a one page report that shows the 7 people. ________________________________ > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To: legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com > Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Charting / Reports 1/2 children > Date: Thu, 16 Oct 2008 15:06:14 +0100 > > > Mark, > > If the only addition you require is the inclusion of the Child Status then > the Descendant Book Report may be what you are looking for -given that the > child is linked to your uncle as either step or adopted.
