On the 'indented book' report would it be possible to have an option to print the children of a person in the sequence in which they were born? My problem is a family where the father moved between his legal wife and his 'lady friend'.  His first children were with his wife, then he had a few with the lady friend. He then went back to his wife, had a few more before moving on to another lady and starting again. It would be nice to have a report with his children in the year of birth sequence. Thanks Sue Horsman

To Sue Horsman Currently it will list all the children of the first relationship, then children of the second relationship, then the third relationship. So if the children were not born in that order, they will not be in "child birth order" but by marriage or relationship order for the mother, then sorted correctly for each mother. Since this sounds like a rare thing, I do not think I can change the program to handle this case. If it is important to you, you could fudge it a little by having him married to woman 1 with just the first children, then having the second relationship with the children from the second mother, then have him "remarried" to spouse 1 (add spouse and type the BK number of the spouse) and that will be his third relationship with children by the wife again, then the next relationship and children etc. In other words, he can be linked by marriage two times to the same spouse and have her be spouse 1 and 3. However, that might lead people to believe that he was not married to her during relationship 2 John Steed ----- Original Message ----- From: "S Horsman via" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, March 21, 2015 10:51 AM Subject: [BK] Suggestion for indented book report On the 'indented book' report would it be possible to have an option to print the children of a person in the sequence in which they were born?

Just as another option, if you use the "not married" option for the "lady friend" and include notes under the father that explain their relationship, that should cover any questions that might arise when someone unfamiliar with the family history is reading about it. That's what I've done in a similar situation.
