What is Genviewer? Ist it another software programme or a part fo legacy that I haven'y discovered as yet? Thanks
When I use Genviewer and select an ancestor of mine, lets say on my moms side. Then set the filtering to Descendants of My wife, my father, my brothers wife are not highlighted, nor are any spouses of anyone else. Only those starting from the selected individual and those related by blood are highlighted. This is what I was trying to figure out in Legacy, how can I create a tag that shows the same individuals that GenViewer finds. Genviewer 1.23 Select any individual Apply Highlighting + Descendants of All sons and daughters of the selected individual and all children, and children-children, etc. are highlighted. No spouses, divorced spouses get highlighted, because they are not descendants. john ronald ferguson wrote: John, There maybe a problem with what you are asking. You say "no spouses", fair enough it's easy to select the descendants, tag them and then use Search>Find>Detailed Search and search first for those tagged and by surname. But this excludes the children of the daughters. Basically searching for Descendants by surname is easy but if you exclude spouses then it would ignore the female side. I can see the point about a spouse's other partners and doubt of this would be a problem to eliminate (although I haven't thought about it yet) but would appreciate firstly your answer to my other query.

Sounds like Descendants are those related by blood via the person selected at the top of the tree. I'd like to export to gedcom and am not sure how I can tag the following to easily just export the tagged individuals Do you know how I can create tags for the following: 1) Descendants - Which I'm looking for those related by blood, (No Spouses (I guess there are not really descendants), No one not related via blood (Adopted, etc) When I select Descendants for my father Edit -> Tag records -> Descendants there appears 2 options a) Descendants (Include all descendants) My wife show up here, she's not a descendant of my father b) Entire Descendant Line Here my wife's first husband, who she divorced. Why would he be tagged? Divorced not a spouse, not in any way related to my father. When I clear and then set the relationship to my father. This divored husband correctly shows no relationship, in the relationship calculator. 2) Would like to be able to select Descendants as described in option 1 add also if selected adopted add also if selected spouses I looked at the Search Feature as well and was not sure how I could get # 1 and #2 to be tagged. thanks, john _________________________________________________________________ Get Hotmail on your mobile.
