Ron, Yes, that's the kind of thing I'm looking for.
Meanwhile, I'm solving it in software... I'm scanning the database myself (as an exported 'basic' gedcom file) and constructing the list of marriage IDs which I can then copy and paste into the muliple descendant book report window. (While I'm at it, I'm tagging my (and my wife's) grandparents, and exporting that tag - this allows me to group the descendant lines in the same way that Legacy does the color coding of ancestral lines.)
