Can anyone give me an easy way to create a report from my PAF5 database which will give me only my direct line ancestors to check for incomplete LDS ordinances. I currently have a large database of approximately 65,000 names but this also includes all of my spouse's ancestor's and many off-shoots from both the direct lines? Any help will be appreciated! Kent

Kent, I'm assuming that when you say direct line ancestors you mean your direct line ancestral couples and their families. The quickest method to see which families still need ordinances is to look at your pedigree chart. Turn on LDS ordinance data first. If any ancestor does not have all of the ordinance code letters BEPSC then someone in that family needs some work. Or you can create a custom report that contains only your ancestors and then print out the regular PAF reports on incomplete ordinances.

File/print reports/books/ahnentafel is one way. File/export/PARTIAL/select/Ancestors OK Export followed by create a new PAF file, then File/Import/whateveryou called it, is another. Since I'm not configged to show the LDS fields, I won't swear the first one does, but the 2nd one certainly will. Cheryl
