Birthdate List?

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

 

Is there a way to create a birthday list for persons in my dataset? I think there may be a way to do this using the List People Report, but I can't seem to configure the settings correctly.

 

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi,

 

I think this should be quite easy. In the List People Report you can shoose which fields should be output.

If you want the birth date, you just select Date from the birth-group.

If you just want month and day, you should select two fields from the birth-group: Month and Day

 

Regards

Helmut

You are looking in the right place and to get what you want you need to alter the output columns in the Options tag on the Report definition screen. You could also set up a filter for a specific group of people on the main definition screen e.g. living.

See 'On this Day' - John Cardinal's (free) companion utility for TMG at:

 

http://www.johncardinal.com/otd/index.htm

 

"On This Day (OTD) reads a TMG database and displays a list of anniversaries: BMDB events that occurred on the same month and day as the current date. Use it to remind yourself or members of your family of important dates in your family history.

 

The output from On This Day can be displayed on screen, sent to an HTML page, or stored in MS Outlook as appointments. You can show a day, week, or month at a time. Set the output range to a month, the output format to HTML, and produce a calendar you can print via your web browser. If you are a genealogist, and you are forgetting birthdays and anniversaries, why?

 

You can also make a calendar in HTML for the entire year, which includes links from the anniversary events to a brief summary of the person's life (BMDB)."
