Thanks to all who had suggestions on how I can identify relationships on an
ancestor report. I've tried the different methods, but I'm not getting to
the place where I want to be. I think I've been spoiled by the genealogy
software Generations. After I identified the source person and set the
relationships to that source person, I could ask that the relationship
designation print in the report; i.e.,
Giovanni Sconza Testa, G Grandfather. Giovanni was born on....
he married Rosa Bazzarello, G Grandmother, daughter of Giuseppe Bazzarello
etc.
And as my cousin, or anyone else who I'm sending the report to, reads the
report, they can immediately identify their direct line or collateral
ancestors and descendants.
Because the relationship shows on the top of the family card as well as on
the Detail tab in the Index, I would think it wouldn't be too hard to have
it print within the report itself. The Index Report is one answer, but the
reader would have to constantly be going from the ancestor report to the
index report to identify relationship.
Thanks again for the suggestions - I'm going to have to continue this
monumenal task of copying and pasting the relationship into an Event field,
although it truly isn't an Event.

I think you can simply select the cousin in your database and follow the
menu path Tools > Set Relationships.

I am creating an acestor report for a cousin. She is related to almost
7,000
people in my database. When I create the report, it is overwhelming for
her
to try to figure out how she is related to all these people. What I am
doing
is in the Index view, tab Details, I have the Relationship showing. I
highlight and cut the relationship to this cousin, go to the Events tab,
add
an Event called Relationship to cousin and paste the relationship from the
Details view in the Description field. This is a huge task with so many
people, but I can't think of any other way to show her how she is related
to
each and every person in the ancestor report.
If anyone can think of an easier way - other than not indicating
relationship at all - I'd appreciate their help.
