Barbara, you can get the content but not the order in an Ancestor Book report. It just goes up the tree instead of down.
If you want to go down, you use a Descendant Report and to ignore the other descenants you need to tag the line you want to report on (use the Relationship Calculator between you and the ancestor concerned. And export to a new file that tag list and include other children in the export to pick up the siblings of your ancestors.
Run the descendant report from that file. Cathy Turnham wrote:
I feel very frustrated about making reports and it isn't that I haven't looked in help and googled the issue but for the life of me I cannot see how to do this report without a lot of deleting of extra information. This is what I want to do: I want to do a descendant report from one of my ancestors to me.The generation chapters would go like this: 1. A and B and their children C1 (my ancestor) and siblings. In this chapter I mention briefly what I know of the siblings but with my ancestor say that he is discussed in the next chapter. 2. In this chapter I discuss my ancestor and his children again delaying a complete discussion of my ancestor from this generation to the next chapter. So each chapter (generation) would be limited to my ancestor and his children as are the lines of this chart I have produced. http://s1271.photobucket.com/user/mahnrut/media/chart%20John%20Feveryear%20to%20barbara%20dickerson_zpssydahmh3.jpg.html I don't see any way of producing this kind of report without carrying on the siblings descendants as well. Many thanks for your patience! I would prefer a direct contact rather than cluttering up the list. Barbara
