Counting number of descendants

Recommended Posts

Hello. Can anyone advise if there is a quick way to count the number of descendants of an ancestor in TMG? I am hoping there is a shorter way than going through each generation and writing down the numbers!

 

Many thanks

Just run a List of people with a filter of "Is a descendant of" and the person's ID number- then watch the screen- it will tell you how many people it is processing.

A quick way

- clear the focus group

- put the main person in the focus group on their own

- add others with just descendants ticked

- done - a list of names and a total in the top RH corner (inc original, so take one off for total descendants)
