Hi Hugh:
No problem at all with your response. The issue is not that I wish to 'blank out' my ex-wife, it's just that I am trying to produce calendars and report which now include myself and my present family and not the relatives of a lady to whom I am no longer married. It's not me being weird but it's others in my family who don't necessarilly wish to be reminded that it's so-and so's birthday when the said so-and so was a real 'so- and-so' to us etc etc etc. (that was rather English humour, sorry !!)
So, I fully accept the facts and no, I don't need counselling; I just want a way of moving on and not being reminded and birthadays and anniversaries etc unless I specifically wish to run such reports.
Hope that this made sense
John

Even though the message appeared a dozen times I'll only answer once.
Two of my older son's marriages ended in divorce. I would have kicked the fanny of one of the first two myself if she had been a man. She was a thief, a liar and worse but she is still the mother of his children. So, there is every reason, but two, to delete her from my genealogy data base. The other reason is because she is a fact - she exists, it happened and I can separate personal feelings from facts. If one can't do that he will probably have real problems with genealogy.
In spite of the above it takes two people to marry and it usually takes two to cause a divorce. Get over it, report the facts and don't look back.
If you respond please remember you asked for what people thought and you didn't ask that only sensitive people respond.

From: "John I. Stephen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [LegacyUG] Divorce (yes I am sure this has been asked before ?!) I have been using version 5.0 for some time am have tried to find out how I can exclude my former wife and her family from reports (e.g. birthdays and anniversaries) whilst not deleting her from the database. Now, with a new wife and her family, I wish to retain my ex-wife's family's details for the benefit of my children, but do not wish to have this data merged in reports etc.
