G'day Diane Thanks for the assistance. It is easy when you know how. I have only one divorced couple in my family and I had never encountered this problem before. I have been able to sort out the children's setting, so no problem there, however I would be pleased to learn who you make your direct ancestor bold if you remember how to do it! Thanks again and regards Ian Donaldson : At the top of the screen go to view, pull down to spouses. In the bottom : right corner are arrows. Rearrange in the order. : : You can do the same thing with children in a family, except go to edit, : children's settings. Several weeks ago someone explained how to make your : direct-ancestor bold. Thisway you can have children in birth order, but : your ancestor stands out. :
