You can go to Tools >Marriage List and print a report of all the MRINs and associated people. My report for that is about 600 pages long just for the names. I have over 34,000 people in my DB.
I really don't think you want to write a report using every MRIN in your database, unless you only have about 20 or so people in your DB. I have found that using the Multiple Descendant report is only useful if you limit the family names to about 4-8. Anymore that that, you will just be creating a paper generator. One book that I wrote with 4 MRIN families resulted in an 800 page book (a 2" thick using 8.5x11" pages) by the time I included other chapters. The Multiple descendant portion of that book was over 500 pages. Most publishing companies won't print a book over about 800 pages - it is just too thick and will fall apart. I am currently writing a new book using multiple lines of descendant and am using 6 families. A couple of the families are only 6-8 generations. This book is about 500 pages which is a 1" hardback book with page size of 8.5X11". I think you will find the best book format will be a 1-4 family name book. I have a one family book that is close to 400 pages. Another option to consider is writing an Ancestor Book with your youngest person as a staring point. Using my grandson as a starting point, my Ancestor Book would be 685 pages. This would be a very large book to publish. To get a printer to print a color version of this book would probably be $120 to $300 for one book. Some local companies charge about $1/page for Color copies. A B&W book this size might cost you $30-$75 to publish. One good thing, Legacy can provide you a Preview of the book and create a PDF file for you to look at without wearing out your printer or costing you an "arm and a leg" Good luck on creating your book. ___ Leon Chapman [email protected] ----- On Mon, Mar 28, 2016 at 8:47 PM, June <[email protected]> wrote: > If I want to do a Multiple Descendants Book my understanding is that I need > to enter the MRIN numbers of each line that I want printed - and I would > like to include them all. > > Is there any way the programme can pull out these numbers or do I have to > manually follow each line back and make a note of the MRIN number of the > last person in that line. > > Thank you - June > > > > -- > _______________________________________________ > LegacyUserGroup mailing list > [email protected] > To manage your subscription and unsubscribe > http://legacyusers.com/mailman/listinfo/legacyusergroup_legacyusers.com >
