Re: [LegacyUG] Multiple Lines of Descendent Book HELP please
Hi Cynthia, When you are looking at your LegacyFamilyTree information, go to the very top bar. It shows File, Edit, Add, View, Reports, etc Click on "View" On the View tab, look at the icons below and on the far left side. It shows "Name List", and "Marriage List" Click on "Marriage List" You can then search on either the Husband's name or the Wife's name. Click on either "Husband" or "Wife" depending on which person you want to search on. In the blank field next to the button you clicked on above, type the last name (i.e. Smith) If you have 24 Smiths, you can put a comma and then the first name (i.e. Smith, Judith) Make sure the spouse listed on the same line is the one you want. In the list at the bottom part of the window, the far left column is the MRIN you want to use for the report. Hope this helps, Evelyn On Sat, Oct 9, 2021 at 3:10 PM Cynthia N.

Re: [LegacyUG] Multiple Lines of Descendent Book HELP please
On the individual display the MRIN no for the couple is the middle one of the three numbers at the bottom right corner of the display. Alternatively, the Marriage List will give you a list of every marriage along with the MRIN and the individuals To run a Multiple Lines of Descent, you need to provide a list of the starting points. These would normally be the oldest individuals in that part of the tree. The report will work down from those people. As I recall (and may be wrong) if your oldest ancestors has no marriage you will find that there is a dummy marriage record for them that you can use, with the other person listed as Unknown. You do not need to include any marriages below the starting points, so basically you can start with all of your oldest ancestors and that of your spouse's ancestors, and then let the report work through all of them. The report will process the marriages in the sequence that you give it. Where you have the same people occuring twice, because you have two lines merging, you can report on the second as a reference to the first record that it found, which will stop the report just repeating the same information and the common descendents. As I recall the result is limited to no more than 300 starting marriages. The list of starting numbers can be individual MRiNs, or a range if you can find a set in sequence and the correct order.

Re: [LegacyUG] Multiple Lines of Descendent Book HELP please
There are some complete directions here... https://www.legacyfamilytree.se/WEB_US/multiple_lines_of_descent_book.htm I noticed that you listed the RIN. This is a unique number identifying a specific PERSON. This report goes by MRIN which is the MARRIAGE number. The MRIN is a unique number used to identify a specific relationship. If a person has 3 spouses, there will be 3 MRINs associated with that person, one for each relationship. You can find the MRIN from the Marriage List or if you bring up a couple in Family View then in the *bottom right corner* you'll see 3 numbers: the left is the husband's RIN, the middle is the MRIN of the couple, the right is the wife's RIN. You will use the middle number: MRIN. Congratulations on your adventure into reporting! - Evelyn On Sat, Oct 9, 2021 at 10:58 AM Cynthia N.
