Cheryl, I believe someone else has already mentioned GEDxlate and I wholeheartedly recommend this program. Export your family file to a GED and import it into GEDxlate. It has many options which will give you what you want and much more. It is free and I have been using it productively for several years. It is one of the essential tools in my genealogy toolbox. -- Gene Young Researching Young, Harer, Cox & Sallada With Legacy Family Tree http://myyoungs.atspace.com/index.htm --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
