List of Ancestor Surnames

Recommended Posts

I wish to create a list of my ancestor surnames.

I thought this would be easy.

I used the 'List of People' report with a filter of 'Ancestors of #3' (me).

And then specified the output as the Surname field.

 

This gave me a list of all my ancestor surnames, but I got duplicates for each occurance of an ancestor with the same surname.

 

The only way that I see to get the list I want is to output this list to a file and then edit the file to eliminate the duplicates.

 

This seems like a common report to want to run, so I am guessing that I am missing something.

 

Any tips?

Thanks, Joanne.

The Distribution report is not one that I am familiar with.

I learned something new.

 

This report gets rid of the duplicates.

But it adds the columns for frequency and percent.

I think it might be easier to edit out the duplicates from the list of people report.
