But, Ruth, the ancestor book report run for your cousin with the relationship in the subtitle will group her grandparents together, then her great-grandparents, etc. Surely that's better than entering events for 7000 individuals?
For events approach, though: Maybe if you make a copy of your database and then add the events in that copy... then you won't have them in your main database to be deleted (or privatized or something) when you want to run reports from for someone else. --Paula Texas, USA Currently researching: Goodale in Mass., NY, Mich. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ruth Nerud" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, October 16, 2005 8:49 AM Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Relationship 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.
