Make a backup copy of your Legacy database Go to Jane Wells Click on the menu bar EDIT go to TAG RECORDS First we need to make sure that tags 1,2 and 3 are clear of any existing tags click on UNTAG radio button, It should already say "Make Changes on" 1 click on the EVERYONE button. Lets repeat for 2, click untag radio button, you need to change the "Make changes on " to 2 Click Everyone Lets repeat for 3 click untag radio button, you need to change the "Make changes on " to 3 Click Everyone Now we have cleared everyone from any 1,2 and 3 tags Since we opened the Tag Records menu from Janes page, she should be the person selected in the name field If not, click the CHANGE button and select Janes name so that it shows in the "Individual Tagging" window. Now clock the ANCESTORS button, a new window opens and here you select who to include; siblings, siblings spouses etc.... select your needs. (do not select entire related) Then click OK. It will set the tag 1 for all the persons that meet the parameters. Close the tag window, and go to the ancestor James Hulstar. >From the menu bar EDIT go to TAG RECORDS In the tag window, James name should be the selected person. Change the "Make Changes on" TAG number to 2 Click on the descendants button, select just descendants, click OK. Close the Tag window Go to the Menu bar SEARCH> FIND In the LOOK FOR select INDIVIDUAL WHERE TO LOOK - tag 1 How to look - EQUAL What to Look - TAGGED Select the Second Condition Individual TAG 2 Equals Tagged Then check the radio button near the bottom, "Clear list before search" Click on Create List The SEARCH window list opens with the persons who meet the parameters, Click on the OPTIONS button Select Advanced Tagging Make changes on needs to be changed to TAG 3 click on EVERYONE IN SEARCH LIST now all the people you want in your report are tagged, so lets export them to a new file FILE> EXPORT> GEDCOM Change the character set to UTF8 Click RECORD SELECTION and click on the radio button for records tagged with and change the tag number to 3 NOW in your example you wanted the report to list the parents of a spouse, so since the parents are not a "DIRECT LINE" between Jane and James, we need to include them. Select the Radio button for Export Spouses and export Parents (siblings is optional prob wouldnt hurt to include if you have any ancestors who married a sibling of a spouse) Close the record selection window Click on CUSTOMIZE here the "events" that are in you database are listed in the right side window under "Export these items" If there are any items you do not wish to include in your report Just scroll to the event name and click on it so that it is highlighted, then click on REMOVE.
