  1. Descendancy Report Spouse Information

    Thanks Jim for the link to the previous thread on spouse getting information included in reports. I think I'm beginning to understand the report set-up process better. Norm
  2. Descendancy Report Spouse Information

    Thanks Jim, Now I see what happened - when I tried the other report styles, they cleared the "Include spouse events" check box on the Miscellaneous page, so when I went to Custom I needed to check the "Include spouse events"! Now I'm getting the spouse paragraph included after the direct line descendant! I'm glad it was my report options set-up and not a limitation of TMG. I've been overlooking this setup option a long time! Thanks, Norm
  3. Descendancy Report Spouse Information

    Hi Neil, I've gone through and tried all 4 of the Journal Report options (NEHGR, NGSQ, TAG, & Custom) for generating a Descendants Report, and I must be missing something, because in each case I fail to get the spouse information to print out in the report. I even tried a Journal Report with a Filtered Group setting the filter up as "Is a descendant of ID#" and then checking the box "And then add their Spouses". In my small test case I have a Focus ID person, with 7 descendants, and when adding spouses I get another 8 people. The register report without spouses is slightly over 1 page and is in good format. When I add spouses, rather than the spouse information adding as a paragraph under each line descendant, the report breaks out into 11 pages with each page being the start of a different focus purson out of the group. For a comparision, I did the same thing with a small test group in Family Tree Maker and it gave results similar to ROOTS in that there is a spouse information paragraph added underneath each of the direct line descendants opening paragraph. Am I missing something in the set-up of the Journal Report options, or is this just not a TMG capability? Thanks, Norm

    Neil, I'll spend some time checking out the Journal Report. I've never tried it before. I appreciae your prompt reply! Thanks, Norm
  5. In using the Descendant Indented Narrriative Report I have been unable to figure out how to include Spouse birth & death information along with that of the descendant. My previous experience goes back to the Commsoft ROOTS days when I used the Register Report Format and always included in the printout not ouly spouse information, but the spouse parent and grandparent information. When I set up the Report to include spouses or spouses and a couple generation of ancestors, it results in multiple pages of mini descendancy reports, and does not provide a single integrated descendancy report. I've tried multiple combinations of Report Configuration with no luck and I haven't as of yet seen the topic in an FAQ. Thanks
