Family Tree Maker 2005 - missing person!

I have been diligently adding rellies to my newly purchased Family Tree Maker and want to print a standard descendant tree. When it generates, however, there is a person missing! All her brothers and sisters show up, in fact everyone else that should be there shows up it is just this lady and her children. I have checked all the views and the parents are correct so I don't know how the link has broken - has anyone any ideas? The software generates a text report with everyone intact too, it's just the chart views that lose her. It was wanting to know about this lady that started the whole thing off so I cannot lose her now!!! Thanks all. Steph. |

On my Family Tree Maker (a few years old now) there a facility to input the number of generations you want to show on the tree? If you have this facility, perhaps you haven't requested the correct number of generations . . . . . just a thought. |

Thanks Brian, Just had a look and you can indeed specify - but it was already set to 99 - uurghhh too scary! Seriously, if her brothers and sisters show up then surely she should too? Or perhaps I have the only copy that won't print names beginning with 'K' lol! I expect it is something simple so I'll keep trying. Thanks again. Steph, |

Hi, I guess you have checked out the help menu - I use that all the time and sometimes it actually makes sense. Otherwise, I would email FT and ask their advice. |

Would it be too much trouble deleting her name and putting it in again? Not a very technical suggestion . . . . but it might work! |

Hmmm, if I delete her I guess I'll lose two husbands, four children and umpteen grandchidren - and associated notes? I will keep that thought in mind though, I may be able to copy the text out and back in again, fiddly but still. Did check out the help pages so will also try e-mailing before I do anything drastic. Thanks very much for all your suggestions. Cheers. |

Stephanie...just another wee thought for you.... Is this particular relation assigned to the parents as a natural child or were they adopted? On my Family Tree maker I originally put myself under my parents as adopted (cos I am!) and when I printed out my tree I had disappeared!!! Check what status the child is under the parents as...
