I will be happy to pass along anything I learn about available

ago that I've stuck with GEDStar Pro, and done beta work for them. The

Sorry, that's the one - Descendant Book Report. I've reset the report

consecutive instead of the same source number when the source is repeated

There's nothing I can find that's called Descendant Report. There's a

fails, you can try resetting the report options. Bottom right corner.

It's the Descendant Report. I do it through the Publishing Center but even

I'm getting a bit confused by some of what you're saying. What type of

There's no connection between the No's 102. Different family. I hope this
all gets corrected soon. I'm at my wits end trying to get this report for my

Maybe the number difference is due to different lines arriving at the
same point. Are you listed as a different number somewhere else in the
chart? Have you tracked backwards to No. 102 to see how it gets to you
later?

I was hoping the first part was okay if I just said go ahead and keep
processing the report.
I wasn't clear on the second point. If my Dad is No. 73 and under him I'm
listed as no. 85 and my sister is 86, then when I go to 85 I should see all
the information about me - marriage, children, etc.
I have a line of cousins where two first cousins married and for the
next 200 years, cousins are marrying cousins. When Legacy tells me I'm
in a loop, I just nod and tell it to keep processing.
About your second question, children 85 and 86 - wouldn't you expect
them to be different people?
I've said before I'm attempting to create a Descendant Report for a cousin.
Her parents were cousins; there are many marriages in both sides of the
family where the persons are related. I've encountered two problems.
As the report is being generated, I get a window that says:

After moving all my Event pictures from Legacy's picture folder to a
totally unrelated folder and renaming them, I find they're still linked
as they were to Legacy. Not that I'm complaining - it would be neat if
they all worked like that - but how does that work?

It should be noted that the FILE option is only available to deluxe users.
Otherwise, you can work around it by selecting "sound" or "video" and then
selecting the PDF file. The only problem with this is that you have a sound

There are three common options for sharing Legacy files among multiple
computers.
1. The files are on a USB hard drive or memory stick which is moved from
PC to PC.
The other two options require having a home network and remembering one

You probably need a 6th computer that is your file server / backup machine
on your network.
You could then just set Legacy to point to the data file on the file server
machine and it would always be current.
If you don't have a network, then a thumb drive is your next best solution.
