Hi Please can anyone tell me how I can see a descendant report (not a chart), on Family Tree Maker. If I put my oldest ancestor in, or second oldest, on a genealogy report it only gives ancestors and I can only get descendants in an outline descendant report. Hope this makes sense, a bit confusing!! I am sure I have done it before but cant remember how and there is probably a simple way. Thanks a lot for any help. Marilyn

Hi Marilyn, When you have the 'Genealogy Report' on your screen, go to the 'Format' menu at the top of the screen and select 'Genealogy Report Format...'. You need to select either the 'Register' or 'NGS Quarterly' options to get a descendant report. I hope that helps. :-) Chris
