Living could be difficult: do you assume someone whose death is not entered to be living (if birth less than x ago, and if so what x to use)? The only reliable figure (and that variably so, depending as it does on how reliable entered data is) would be number known to have died. >Longest surviving; >Shortest surviving; Other | Graphic Charts | Lifespan (or Age (still living)) will give this broken down by decade. (Also you can select males or females only.) >etc >etc Other charts available are birth death and marriage months, and number of children (optionally excluding zero). You can also get count of descendants of a person, which is broken up by generation. [] A report such as you describe would be interesting, but I suspect no small amount of effort to provide. There'd need to be configuration options, such as do you use baptism/christening date if birth date not recorded, similarly for burial if no death date (for the lifespan calculations). Though since the graphic charts are offered, maybe not as huge an amount of work (and certain choices must have already been made about birth/christening etc.; I would guess birth/death only). Out of curiosity, what would you like to have available such a report for - just for your own curiosity, or do you have another reason/use? -- J. P. Gilliver.

Does anyone know of a way to produce a statistical list from a BK database? Showing things such as:- Total number of individuals; Total families; Total males; Total females; Number living; Longest surviving; Shortest surviving; etc etc Many thanks. Malcolm Webb mfwebb2005@btinternet.com
Malcolm, Have you tried the graphic reports. Some of what you want might be there. Another thing I do is create a CSV file from BK with birth & death dates in it and then read it into Excel and sort on various fields and creating separate tabs for deaths and living. When some person is 200 years old you might have to go back into BK and put some kind of death date like "Bef 6/9/2012" Jim -----Original Message----- From: bk-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:bk-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Malcolm Webb Sent: Saturday, June 09, 2012 4:14 AM To: BrothersKeeper-List Subject: [BK] Statistical Report Does anyone know of a way to produce a statistical list from a BK database?

To Howard Slatter If you are trying to change something for a custom event, it is treated like a Location, so you would use Change only Location on the global search and replace. Just be careful that it does not affect other locations that you do not want to change. Perhaps you can send me a private email with what exactly you are trying to change from and to.

So far, Rennie, your solution is closest to what I envisioned - just type in the year and that year's calendar pops up. I've created a shortcut on my desktop to access it.

I use family census for husband and wife and census for children. I click on the note field and paste the census information. I use various file names and if the census needs updated, I only change one file. For example a husband, wife and two children are listed in the 1930 census.
