Ron,
I'm testing this out. If I understand you correctly, to get what is a
"paper dump" of all my Legacy data, I would run this report for the MRIN's of
the oldest couples of ALL my ancestral lines. Am I on the right track?
Based on another thread, I've found all my "oldest ancestors"... those with no
parents... in the miscellaneous search. There are 67. At worst, that's ~33
marriages. And in many cases, there's no marriage at all. I have a list report
that shows each of the 67 with their spouse (probably just their first spouse,
at a glance), and one or more "spouse's MRIN" --- because I couldn't find the
field MRIN to add to that report.
So, if I print this out, I can then (by hand) remove the duplicate MRIN's and
verify the MRIN's for multiple spouses (I would want only the marriages that are
MY ancestors, right?) and then key those in for the Multiple Lines of Descent
report. Right?
It says I should enter these MRIN's in the order *I* want them to be in the
report. Would that be oldest to youngest? Or maybe "left to right" across an
ancestor chart? ("top to bottom" on a pedigree chart) And does it matter that
these MRIN's are not the same number of generations from me?
Still seems like some things would fall through the cracks, but there is no real
"dump" besides a GEDCOM is there?
I had originally thought a good "dump" report would be the Ancester book, but
then all the descendents of siblings are lost. So, maybe both... one report
"up" and one report "down."
Thanks!

I am pretty sure that the report which will contain the maximum data from one’s
database would be “Lines of Multiple Descent”.
