The whole idea of a family group sheet is that it presents a sort of snapshot of *a* family on one (or several) pages - with no other family included. That's as it should be. This provides clear compartmenting for other researchers so that there is little confusion.
If you could run those pages together, then that part of the function would be lost and confusion would result. Genealogy researchers do not expect to see parts of two families on any FGS page. By definition, it should be one family, one page. So it appears that Legacy is doing it right... :>) Other reports are available to provide a book layout, or to run families in together. FGS's should NOT run together. trapper John Lancaster, Freelance Business/Tech Writer Email: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Trapper's Web - A Business Guide to the Internet Webpage: http://home.swbell.net/jclanc/ > > > <Copy from Mark Player> > Have you checked the Report Options available?
