Oops! I recorded the wrong John Loring as "John Loring" - that's why a 'was usually known as' and only 'John' for my brother. But this work around is still problematic because my father was NOT usually known as John Rees so I don't want to go down this path.

At first glance it would seem that this should work - but it doesn't! I have recorded my father as John Rees "John Rees" SULLIVAN, and my brother as John Loring "John Loring" SULLIVAN. In the subsequent Descendant Narrative report I get 'blah blah blah. He was usually known as John Rees. John married blah blah blah' for my father and no 'was usually known as' and 'John married blah blah blah' for my brother. And yes, I have selected to use quoted names and remove quoted names.

Ron Ferguson http://www.fergys.co.uk/ -----Original Message----- From: Jan Roberts Sent: Wednesday, October 19, 2011 12:34 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [LegacyUG] Next married wording My brother has just highlighted a small problem with the Descendant Narrative Report. Our father, named John Rees SULLIVAN, married twice. So in the report it shows John married xyz and had the following children. It then lists me, with all my details and events, and my brother, with all his details and events. My brother also happens to be a John, John Loring SULLIVAN. He also married twice. So the report reads (brother) John married abc and lists issue, John next married def. The next entry says John next married ghi - which looks as if my brother married three times, when in fact it is referring to our father's second marriage. I looked for a way to change the wording from using first name only to using both Christian names but can't see any way of making this change. This isn't a problem if father and son have different names, nor is it a problem if the last child isn't a boy with the same name as the father, but in my case it makes the report a bit ambiguous and would be better if I could change the wording from John to John Rees. By the way, I know I can make the change manually if I produce an rtf version of the report, but I like the pdf version better and that can't be changed unless I buy (expensive!?) pdf writer software.
