Anne Just to add to what Lorna said: Ordinarily FH generates sentences based on facts in the Facts tab for each person. However, where you have a couple but no 'Fact' linking them (e.g. no marriage), FH will automatically generate an extra sentence to indicate the nature of the couple's relationship, based on the value of the 'Status' field, for their relationship. The reason we do this is that otherwise you could get a report for a person, which mentions their spouse or partner without giving any indication as to why the spouse or partner is being mentioned - and that could be confusing. However, you can switch these extra 'auto-generated' sentences off if you don't want them. To do that, untick "Auto-Generate Sentences if Missing Facts" in the Main tab of Options for the narrative report in question. To learn more about these 'extra sentences', click on the Help button within the Options dialog.
