Ed,
Some of what you may wish to present to him will depend on how much
interesting data you have in the various places - for ancestors, for
descendants, for closer relatives. For my father-in-law, I simply
printed out a Multiple Lines of Descent Book Report, since I had
accumulated a lot of historical descendant info and put it in my
database along with photos and fascinating tidbits ("events") I culled
from old family histories and the census. Although it wasn't the
prettiest thing in the world, I think he liked how it read. I used the
Modified Register format, and included all the possible indexes, and
limited it to four major ancestors' lines. I didn't repeat duplicate
lines (format). I also put an old (digital) photograph from 1910 on
the cover showing a large group of the people mentioned in the book.If you think he'd be more interested only in his ancestors, then I'd print out an Ancestor book report for him, and Family Group sheets for each of his parents, grandparents, etc. And a few charts would probably be helpful, too for simplification - he can refer to them if he gets "lost" in the reports. Or all of the above! Tabs are a great way to separate the info, so he knows what he is looking at. Good luck and have fun!
