[LegacyUG] need a report that shows line from a non-direct ancestor to me

2014-08-24 Thread Kathleen Townsley
I did a search but couldn't find this. I'd like to do a report (without notes, etc) that just shows my 5th great-grandfather to me. This isn't a direct line and if I make a chart it is 117 pages. I would just like to put in his name and put in mine and have it come up. 5th ggf - 5th ggm

Your 5th GGrandfather is one of your direct ancestors so he should be on your direct line. Go to Tools Relationship to open the relationship calculator Choose yourself on the left and him on the right It should show him as your 5th GGrandfather if you have already set relationships with yourself

Dale and Wendy and others, I chose not to import a Gedcom of my TMG data base into Legacy for a couple of reasons. Firstly, when I began using TMG, I did not know what I was doing and consequently a lot of what I entered was pretty messy - so by reentering each individual I could clean up those

Kathy, The Relationship Calculator can create simple charts. To get what I think you’re asking about, you first would set the relationships by using you as the focus person. Go to Tools set relationships with you as the focus person. Then you use the Relationship Calculator to get the

I have had reports from customers who googled for bug fixes and they got bad info. I don't recommend it. There is a Search tab in the Help file that can be useful if you search on an uncommon word. We're more than happy to take suggestions for indexing words - just send them in on a Suggestion
