Hi Ron,

Source for Australian Citizenship Certificates or whatever they are
called - how ignorant I am - and was putting the details for each in
the Source Detail.
This means that for each child, the Master Source + the source de

That's right. You could end up with hundreds of sources.

Tagging is not an option for the Ancestor Report. If, say, you are starting
from yourself then have you consdered unlinking yourself and your mother from

Hi,
I just wanted to add to this that you can do the unlink function from either
husband or wife. It does make a difference if you want the children to be
retained by one particular spouse.
If you go to unlink from the wife, the children will be retained by the
husband.

Hi Susan,
Glad you have it sorted now. Once you learn these techniques, they
can be applied to so many different situations.
I suggest you make these subsets of your main family file, temporary
