Thanks for your thoughts, Paula. I decided to run my reports without the
relationship to my cousin as an Event. With all those names in the reports,
it is very confusing trying to figure out how she is related to each one,
unless there is a relationship designation. Relationship really has to be
part of my report. I won't be deleting this information because each time I
am asked for an Ancestor Report, it will be great to see how and who we are
related to. I will know immediately if I am related to the person asking for
the information. I am back to copying and pasting - I doubt I'm even half
done yet - but I think in the long run, it will be worth the extra effort.

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.

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.
