amaston 0 Report post Posted April 26, 2010 I have a family where a grandchild (Gladys) is found living with her grandmother (Emily). I have added a parent-bio tag for Gladys with and linked that same person with the known grandmother Emily. I can only get Emily and her children listed with a gender into the report. The 2 children of unknown gender show in Emily's child list, but do not display their descendants. How to I get that line of descendants to display? I realize we don't know if the parent was a mother or father, but we do know the relationship of the granddaughter to the grandmother, so we should be able to see the rest of that line. Thanks.

Michael Hannah 0 Report post Posted April 26, 2010 I just did some testing and it seems that to be able to set a person as a Primary parent, you must identify the Sex of that parent person so that TMG knows whether to make them a father or mother. TMG will only follow the lineage of Primary parents. So to get them to be a descendant it seems you must "pick" a Sex so that they can be set as Primary parents. I can see that this is a problem in this case, but that is what TMG seems to require. I realize that I have always made a "guess" for the Sex of an unknown parent. (Thus I haven't noticed this before.) What I usually do when I do not know the gender of the unknown parent, and have no other data to make a better guess, is to guess them being female. Regardless, I make clear comments in the memo of the Relationship tags and a Note tag in the unknown parent to make it clear that I am guessing. Whatever guess you choose to make, be sure to make clear notes as to why you did this. Hope this gives you ideas, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
