I would like to share some of the ancestory data I've collected with my relatives. Since none of them are especially avid genealogy researchers I've been looking for a simple way to show a person their direct ancestors, where and when they were born and died, from present to twelve generations ago in Europe. I've figured out how to create and use selection lists, however, the reports I've tried all produce way too much information, it's a bit overwhelming to the novice. Is there a way to produce a simple report of no more than six pages , which would satisfy someone's curiosity or provide a framework for more detailed reports on specific brances if someone takes an interest? Thanks, Mike
Ancestral List Report only three fields get printed regardless of how small the font. Is there some way to change the field width so that more than three fields print? Mike

One that I like is the 6 generation Ancestor Tree. However, it does only allow one line of data - which I normally use the one showing birth and death dates. This then, precludes showing a place name, however. But this does allow you to show up to 12 generations with a minimum number of pages.
