One of the things that can get out of order when you make a gedcom are multiple spouses with just the link and no information. I have made a new fact type named *Spouse Order* enabling the description only. In the Individualy entry screen, I put all the spouses in the description, ie. (1) Mary Jones (2) Nancy Smith. I have the fact type set to print in all books, reports, and gedcom. That way I can tell at a glance if I need to reset the spouse order. Laura ....................

Hope this question makes sense and thank you for your comments. > Sally Thoreson
