Charlie Using the second method - instead of creating a named group why not use the same steps to produce an Individual List report?

As others have posted several times, this produces the "end of line" for everyone in the database. This "should" work, but it doesn't. >> You can also create a group of your end-of-line ancestors and filter >> your list on them. >> >> Create a Group - New >> Highlight starting person >> Click Mark Group >> Select all ancestors of a person - direct ancestors only Click Unmark >> Group Clear people by data fields Select "Number of sets of parents", >> "greater than" and enter 0 Click OK, OK, OK Enter name for the group >> This "kind of" works. You can certainly create a named group, I named mine "end of Line" but if I then try the report/list specifying to use this list, again RM produces the names of everyone in the database with an end of line. However, since the named group certainly looks like it's the right data. I then created a custom report with only one field, <name>, and in generating the report to use the named group "end of line", and got what I wanted, a list of names that are my ancestral end of lines. So in my view there is a rather obnoxious bug in the report/list feature of RM. -- Charlie Hoffpauir http://my.rootsmagic.com/CRHoffpauir/ http://sites.rootsmagic.com/CharlieHoffpauir/ http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~charlieh/ http://www.familytreedna.com/group-join.aspx?Group=Hoffpauir =================================== RM list Archives: http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index/ROOTSMAGIC-USERS/ http://archiver.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/search?path=ROOTSMAGIC-USERS WISH LIST: http://www.rootsmagic.com/forums/ BLOG: http://blog.rootsmagic.com/ ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to ROOTSMAGIC-USERS-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
