This is probably me, but I can't seem to figure out what's going on.  I have two databases of data.  One is mine, one is a friend's family. In mine, when I open BK7.0.40 registered, I see the person and his spouse and his children are listed under children.  But, in my friend's database, I can click open on a person, see his parents, click to go up to them, but then the children (the person I just had open) aren't listed below any more. I've been trying to print out family group sheets for him, but can only get a "person" page for each person.  It will show his parents and all events in his life, but not marriage.  Nor will it show his/her spouse or children.  Now that I'm seeing I can't seem to link to the person's "family" on the main screen, I think that's why I can't get the report to print correctly.   I've tried looking through both databases for differences, but am not immediately seeing anything.  Can someone lead me in the right direction to figure out what I may be doing wrong here.  I'm in the same program just switching back and forth between the databases.  I've exited BK7 and gone back in multiple times with no changes.  I haven't gone so far as to reboot my laptop.  But, will attempt that next.  It just takes so long to reboot my laptop right now, I was trying to avoid doing that.   Since my database seems to work okay I'm thinking it must be something I have set different in his database from mine.   Looking forward to hearing from someone on this.  I promised him I'd e-mail these reports tonight and didn't know I'd run into such a problem with such a simple thing.  He's not a genealogist, so I was trying to print him the simplest report I could for his family groups so he can make corrections for me to finalize his family tree.   Thanks, Patty    

Hi, I have a dozen or so people, out of over 70K, for which I entered an Event/Fact with a date a few years ago and I would like to confirm the information without having to go through the whole database. Is it possible to easily make a list of those people? If I go to *Lists*, *Word Search* then *Search Event*, I have to put either a date or place name. Since I don't remember these, I can't use this feature. Thank you. Gilles Paquette

Thank you John. This way, I will be able to transfer my personnal events that I introduced by modifying the *.BKW file (I know this in a no-no, shame on me). Is there a plan in a more or less distant future for a similar feature that will allow adding custom facts on the Names tab? Thanks again. Gilles Paquette Le 2015-02-11 19:28, John Steed a ecrit : To Gilles Paquette The event/fact name can be up to 18 characters.

To Andrew Jackett If most women keep there maiden names, then set that option under File, Options, Other. So you can set up the majority to compute automatically the way you want. For those that do not follow your normal rule, go to Names and enter their Married Name. I like to keep it simple.

Many thanks to Heritage Hunt and Otto Jorgensen for their feedback. Most helpful. Hadn't thought of it that way before. BK certainly does better there than a certain other brand that covers the fancy, frilly bits but doesn't have the full depth of recording more detail with regard to people's names etc. I appreciate your efforts.

To John Steed and Sue Horsman To go into more detail, I am wondering whether Prefix, First name, Birth or Maiden name, Married name and Suffix could be fields that could be possible to record in for all listed people. This would make for a lot of wastage in fields I know, but it would format details for birthday and anniversary lists a lot better. You could have a rule set up Yes or No to having wife's Married name assumed from husband's Last name in which case if you answered Yes to this it would assume the Last name when there was only one principal husband without a Married name being recorded. Another rule could be Yes or No to display formatted last names for women in Book Reports. Another rule could be show Married name for males (Y/N) where their married name might be different from their Birth name. A set of options might be offered for the treatment of the Last name for married women so that special local customs can be catered for. I know that the more options you have, the boggier the list of rules and exceptions needs to be and the slower the overall searching of names and indexing becomes. I can understand why BK has stuck with a simpler method of recording that aspect up until now. What do other people think about such things?

To John Steed and Sue Horsman I like Sue's idea as it has a lot of relevance in genealogy hierarchy many countries use but instead of just having a list of possible names for Prefix, First name, Last name, Suffix, have a set of fields for women (and possibly men could have a split option too) for Prefix, First name, Maiden name, Married name, Suffix. In New Zealand and in similar countries, Maiden name seems to stay the same throughout life but Married name (including former Married name and last used Married name) can go through a number of changes in a lifetime and would be different to Maiden name in many instances (what would normally go in the Last name field).

I don't have a problem with the current way. For women, I usually use only the maiden name, if I know it. If I don't know it, I use First Name, Married name, nee ---. That way she does have a surname, and I can easily find her if I eventually discover her maiden name. Sometimes I will use First Name, Married Name, Married Name, nee Maiden Name -- adding as many married names as needed. But since her husbands are listed on her Edit page, I can easily find all the married names.
