Barbara,
Legacy does not say that it is a problem; the Report is called Potential
Problem.
It is IMO unrealistic to expect any program to cover all eventualities.

Granted Ron - but there appear to be other issues caused with duplicate
lines and the correct assignation to the correct parents.
Barbara is having a PP alert against the wrong set of parents
I get a child descended from the wrong set in charting
Duplicate lines can be potential chaos I admit
yes I get a preview - but the columns for the timeline and dates are far
too wide and the column for the information is far too narrow
and no matter how I try - even in Individual reports - I can not get it to
give me a wife column for info and narrower columns for the others.

I remember a week or two ago people were reporting a problem I had noticed
about the same time. When adding relatives mentioned as surviving a person
in an obituary, I would often, but not always, find that the name would not
save when I saved the new person. The name would be reported as unknown.
Kathy and Kurt,
I just printed with no problem both using the Report Style and the List Style.
Try going to Options Display Options Reset and then try printing again.

What does it mean when there is a thick red line on a person view and
red print on the children of that person?

when I answer this
the thick red line on the person - under their name? - they are the active
person and if you switch to the pedigree or descendant or chronology tab,
the information will relate to them, not their spouse

The Options Print should give you the same output as the Chronology

Interestingly, even if you copy the text from the screen and paste it into a

But you can then fiddle with the layout (change orientation to landscape and
select a smaller font, and adjust the tab stops) to get pretty close to the
One thing you do not report doing is running set relationships after
adding all these people. Do that then report how the relationships show.

Kathy,
For the family where the child is attached the PP alert is correct. That
child was born before those parents married. PP checking does not take
any parent child relationships into account when checking for a problem.
Only the dates for the child versus the marriage date for the parents.
Very helpful and informative comments. I think we can safely conclude there is
more than enough space in the notes fields to meet all needs.
My thanks to everyone who took the time to reply. As the kids would say, you

I do not want to add a death date to someone who is still living, because my
TNG site is set to hide all information on living people and only show
information on the deceased. Adding a death date, even of the After variety
causes the living flag to be set to “No”

are for males the incorrect relationships missing the half were all for
