I always have trouble remembering if the starting person is included in the generation count or not. I usually inspect the results to see if I got it right. The Help file doesn't explain it either. But I probably wouldn't take the trouble to RTFM in this instance anyway. ;-) Legacy could add a little note on the screens i.e. "(not including starting individual)" to make things clear. What is the common practice in the genealogical community? If I say a descendant report shows 3 generations, is the topmost person included? -- Dennis M.
