Mary Not sure if this is the best way, but a possibility is to use tagging.
Go to the person whose ancestors you want to find the surnames of Select Edit/ Tag Records Choose a tag number you haven’t used. Select Tag and “ancestors” and a tag number – if you’re not sure who is tagged then select a tag number and untag “Everyone” before you tag the ancestors Then do a Search/Find/Detailed Search and select Individual, Where to look =Tag x, how to look “Equal”, what to look for “Tagged” Then under the list of names choose “Print...” Select CSV file – bottom right Unclick all the field options and under “optional fields” click on “Customise...” and select “Name: Surname” as the first entry. Then click “surname” from the optional fields list. Click on create and choose a file name in the folder you want and then press “Create”. This will create a file that can be opened by Excel or another spreadsheet program. It will have duplicates for everybody with the same surname, but can surely be edited to provide the list you want. Jack From: Mary LeClerc [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 22 June 2013 21:44 To: [email protected] Subject: [LegacyUG] surname list Is there an easy way to generate a list of surnames in the direct ancestral line, preferably alphabetized? There probably is something simple I'm missing.
