This will create a named group of the end of line ancestors, but I don't think there is a way to print a named group in RM7. My procedure logically does the same thing but it creates a report that can be printed. By the way, there now appears to be an end of line report in RM7. I don't know when it appeared. Highlight the individual you want the ancestors of then Go to Reports>lists>individual list click on create report selected people "end of line" click on generate report.

I must be missing something since I don't see anything that says end of line ... did a 'no parents' thing but then I get everyone in the database, not just the directs in the various lines !!!!!!

I'll weigh in on this discussion with what I've experienced in trying to duplicate what others have posted.... >> Pat, here is a post that Renee listed from 2013 in the online forum: >> >> You can create a list or group of your end-of-line ancestors using >> RootsMagic. >> >> Reports > Lists > Individual List > No parents >> People to include: select from a list >> Highlight the starting person and check their box >> then click on Mark group, select "Ancestors of highlighted person" >> Direct ancestors - set the number of generations >> Click OK, OK, generate report This just doesn't work. 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
