If I remember the rule correctly a surname is only used when it is
different from that in the previous generation. If each generation is
including a surname they are probably different due to females who took
the husband's surname or perhaps a change in surname spelling from one
generation to the next.
Check your report to see if I am correct.

Hi,
I have created a Descendant Book for a great-great-great-grandfather,and
have encountered a small problem.
Has Legacy DeLuxe 9.0.0.301.
I have chosen View Lines Back to First Ancestor, and Descendant No. Here
the problem arises.
His name is Hans Olsen Rugstad, and all surnames are entered in the
right box.
He had several children, I come from his son Ole Hansen Rugstad.
Another family comes from the daughter Johanne Hansdtr. Rugstad.
When I follow the descendants to me and my descendants, I and all my
ancestors, including H. O. Rugstad, are listed with only first names,
like this:
Andreas Søli (Nils A. 67, Andreas 37, Hans Olsen 16, Ole Hansen 3, Hans
Olsen 1)
If, on the other hand, I follow the daughter Johanne's descendants, then
all are listed with first- and surnames, except for H. O. Rugstad, who
is just called Hans Olsen.
Is there an explanation for that?
