Anne, I have several direct ancestors with blended families (children from two spouses) so I rarely look at Ancestor reports.
Are you planning one Legacy descendant report or a separate descendant report for each of the children with one index? I think non-researchers prefer to start reading about their direct line or descendants of people they knew (like grandparents who were alive when they were children.) If you are willing to have source images in endnotes, they can print a different size than the Legacy report pictures. One of my research areas changed the shape of BMD registrations over time. Some are 1/3 page wide and a full page high. A family member might have the same kind of event registration written on one or two lines but one page wide. Used a non-Legacy method to print 30 mixed layout picture pages with 90 pictures, saving 60 pages over a method using scrapbooks with one image per page. Are the intended readers of your book interested in all descendants? You could start with a more recent generation and work out your methods for a smaller Legacy book or start with two or three generations for the 1832 couple. Decide early in the project if you want to use sentences or listed events because there is a difference in spacing. Three brothers from one of my lines went to Australia in the 1840s -- one of those was the ancestor of most of the living people with our family name. They are in a separate file from the siblings who raised families in England and Scotland. Other branches have single individuals and childless couples with a lot of interesting notes. -- Elizabeth ----- Original Message ----- > What I am doing at the moment is a book all the decendants of a couple who > married in 1832.
