Descendant Report

 

To start this report, pick Descendant from the main screen and then pick Descendant report.  The Descendant report will print all the descendants of a person.  Each generation will be indented more than the previous generation.  This report prints the birth, marriage and death dates for each person.  If you pick the option to include locations, then set the font to 9 or 8 points to make room for them.  Or there are other descendant reports that can print locations and the other fields.  See the Register or Indented reports.

 

If you want to see how every descendant in the report is related to one person, then type that person's name in the "As related to" field.  The person related to must be either the starting person for this report, or someone that is a descendant of that person.

 

If you want to show the direct lineage between two people, put the older person in the top box and select the option for direct lineage.  Then click on the second name box and type in the name of the descendant.  It will then print only the direct lineage from the top person to the second person.  There is a similar type of report available in the Compute Relationships report.

 

This report may be previewed on the screen or printed or sent to a disk file.  To send the report to a disk file, pick File from the top menu and then pick Create TXT file.
