As long as we are talking about various reports with various numbers, one of the reasons that I chose Legacy when I got a new computer and needed to change my software, was because Legacy offered d'Aboville numbers. I have a (descendant) book of my family tree which used those. It came out in 1950. It has a column for the number and then the name and information about that person is in the second column. You can tell by the number, just how the person fits into the family. For husbands who married into the family, there is an "h" after the wife's number. For the wife who married in, there is a "w" after the husband's number. A first wife is designated "w (1)" and the second wife is designated "w (2)", etc.. It is a wonderful system. Legacy uses d'Aboville numbers in the descendant chart, but there is no separate column for the number, so it all merges together and is not so easy to read. Also, there is no option to use the d'Aboville numbers in a descendant book if you wanted to include all of the information that you had about individuals. Wish Legacy would make improvements in the use of the d'Aboville numbers. Priscilla
