I find it very hard to believe that there is no option to do a report that shows the connections from my son back to his g, g, g, g, g, grandfather. TMG has a report called "Ahnentafel - Direct Line." Is there no equivalent in Legacy? If not, that would be at the top of my list of new features requested. Connie, I am afraid I do not fully understand how the Lineage Report would work in that fashion. I am not very swift with reports other than the basic ones. Thanks anyway.
