Good idea Ron - I would only have to do it for cases that might cause
confusion. The only drawback I can see is that I think there are a few places

On the Report Options screen select the Format tab. Select Use full
given name for narratives and the two John's will have their second

Thanks for writing. Good ideas. I'll certainly begin looking into this.
However, I believe that the $14 rate is good for as much as you can stuff into

It is useful if you "know for certain" that a couple had no children, to

David,
Referencing your question, firstly through an exhaustive research "some married
couples are known to have had no children" and should be documented as such.
Secondly and probably more important, making assumptions prior to an exhaustive
and documented research can lead one into mythology

You must be using the Descendant Chart report since the charts are the

there is a marriage wording setting which uses "someone" as the default
