  1. Thanks, Terry, for your lengthy reply. However, as I said, I've done this before and didn't use either of those two methods. I'm very sure that I used the Descendant Interest flag somehow, as the person whose descendants I want to ignore has a zero for that particular flag, while all the others are unmarked (with a ?). To complicate this particular situation, I need to explain a little further. The person whom I don't want to follow is a woman named Jean, and she had a brother named William whom I DO want to follow. One of Jean's daughters married the grandson of William, and that is one of the main lines I DO want to follow. I just don't want the reports to go down through Jean. I want them to follow the descent from her younger brother William. I hope I explained that clearly.
  2. I want to create a journal descendancy report for a particular family, but there are a few lines that I do not want to follow. I want the program to exclude the descendants of three people in family. I know there is a way to do this and I've done it before, but now I've forgotten now. I think it has something to do with the Descendant Interest flag.

    Rather than begin the sentence with "At the time of [M1]" it might make more sense to just begin with [M1] so you can use more varied language. That allows you to have: "At the time of his death..." "When he died..." "At the time he died..." "On the day he died..." "When he was killed..." And so on. It makes for much better reading if you aren't using the same language all the time.
