Hi Tom This is weird and/or annoying! I had parents for spouses showing on both ancestor and descendant reports until I looked at the report options to figure out what I had checked. The only thing I could think of was 'other parents/other spouses' and unchecked the 'other spouses' box. Now I can

I do both. The typed version goes into Death Notes, and the scanned copy goes into my digital Source Library. If it's also on paper I file the paper in my paper filing system. I think Geoff's system involved putting obits as Events, otherwise the 'tip' doesn't work. Whatever. -- JL JLog - si
