Alfred, I tried your suggestion. Here's what I did. 1. Created an empty database. 2. Went to Fact Types and one by one uncheck Book for everything except Birth, Marriage and Death 3. Created a Backup of the NoOutput database (so I would have it for future use) 4. Imported a gedcom of the family I wanted 5. Created a descendant book 6. Went to Fact Types and one by one uncheck Book for all the User Defined facts that the gedcom imported Once all that was done it does accomplish what I was looking for.
