I tried using Excel as suggested by Brian Kelly (and others previously)
but it didn't work for me even if I am a long-time Excel user.

Thanks for the follow up. I was able to get the counts I needed
with the suggestion from Brian Kelly. I'm going to keep your
suggestion, though, as it may come in handy for related needs.

Have you tried doing a descendants chart, starting with
the couple?
Select the couple with the 21 children and click on
*Reports* and select *Descendant Book*
Click on *Options* and check at the bottom if the name
of that couple is there
Under Options, select which Option you want (there are
three and you will have to go through all three).
The next page you get will have the heading "Descendant
Book Options". You will have a choice of 7 tabs:
*Options*, *Page Layout*, *Heading Layout*, *Wording 1
*and *Wording 2*. You will need to go through all of
them in turn:
Under *Options* and check the features that you want to
appear.
Under *Page Layout*, select what you want.
Under *Heading Layout,* ensure that the couple's name
appears in the first box and "Descendants of so and so"
appears in the second box. I have checked "Both" under
Generation Subtitles Labels.
I left "Wording 1" and "Wording 2" as is.
Under *Index Options*, I have the following checked:
Name List; Include a name, Birth and Death years on
name; Include alternate names (aliases and nicknames as,
in my case, most of my relatives and friends are more
familiar with my nickname),:Style 1 with bold box
checked; Upper case Surnames and One Column are both
checked. I didn't select anything in Location Index.
Under *Report Options*, you have five options:
*Include*, *Format*, *Notes/Stories*, *Sources* and
*Pictures*. Again, you will need to go through each one
in turn and select whatever you want. The only one
where I have made changes is under Format where I have
"Don't repeat duplicate lines" and "Highlight
direct-line children" checked.
As for the *Title Page*, enter "Descendants of" in the
first box and "the couples' names" in the second box and
click on *Save.*
*
*
Once you have clicked on Save, you will be brought back
to the "Descendant Book Report Options" where you will
be able to preview your report.
You can select different formats if you wish to
give/email the report. These are "*Text File*, *HTML
File*, *Rich Text File* or *PDF File*". My personal
preference is PDF File.
I hope this helps.

Good morning. My wife's father was one of 21
children from the same parents. One of the family
has asked how many grandchildren, etc., that union
has. I looked, but can't find, a report option that
will provide the number of descendants by
relationship (child, grandchild, etc.) for a
husband/wife. Is there such a thing available?
Thanks in advance . . .
