Thanks for telling me this. When I called FTM customer support and asked, they told me differently. However, a number of programs just import the date as you wrote it without categorizing and messing with it.

FTM needs to have dates in a specific format because it uses them to calculate ages, or calculate dates from ages. For example if a tombstone gives the date of death, and the age in years, months, and days, FTM can calculate the birth date FTM can also sort facts/events in chronological order on the facts page and in custom reports.. It needs consistency of format to do both of those things Judy in Ocala -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dora Smith Sent: Monday, October 09, 2006 1:29 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [GEN-COMP-TIPS] include all spouses and stepchildren Thanks for telling me this.

Dora, you keep saying you want an ancestor report that includes all of an ancestors wives and children. Do you want an ancestor report that start with you and goes back with all you ancestors or do you want a report of all your ancestors, spouses and children. As I mentioned in my first reply to you on this list, you can get a report that has all those people by generating a descendant report for all of your end of line ancestors. A filter of "is and ancestor of Dora" AND father ID = 0 AND mother ID = 0 will find all of your end of line ancestors and the report will include all of their descendants. You can then use Second Site to make a linked web page. You can title the report and web page , Ancestors of Dora Smith. bob gillis
