I've never seen a bug in this area of RM. That doesn't mean there isn't one - just that I've never seen one. When you say you "created the EOL list", where did you create the list? What I mean is, did you create a group? Or did you create the "list" as a part of creating the report? The selection process is very similar in the two cases, but in one case the "list" is saved as a group and in the other case the "list" is not really saved. So exactly how did you create and print the "list" that was 2 pages long? Here's the distinction I'm talking about. You can say *Reports->Lists->Individual List->People to include->Select from List* or you can say *Reports->Lists->Individual List->People to include->(name of your group)*. If you do it the first way then you don't have to make a group at all. But it's usually easier to make the group so that you can look at the group and make sure you have the correct list of people. You can look at the group without printing a report at all simply by going to People View and selecting the group. And having made a group, you can run a report against the same group multiple times or run several different reports against the same group without having to go through the selection process all over again. So making a group is usually a good idea. So that's the question, did you do the "Select from List" thing when running the Individual Report, or did you first make a group and then specify the group when running the Individual Report? Jerry

Inspected the group and it "looked" like it was right. To print it, I had to create a custom report, selecting that group. Once I had a printed list, I could then verify that it was correct. Once that was done, I went to *Reports->Lists->Individual List->People to include->(name of your group)* (your second option). With this report, I got about 10 times the number of names that I got in the printed list from the custom report. This is essentially what I posted yesterday. I certainly agree that the first option or the second option should produce the same results (but I haven't tried your first option), but for me at least, I'm not getting my end of line "ancestors" with this procedure, I'm getting everyone's end of line ancestors. So I'm seeing precisely what several others who have tried this and seen. -- 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
