It is not called "End of Line" as such. Reports, Lists, Individuals, Create, No parents - People who have no parents entered. I tried Selected People, Select from List, chose myself in the list in the left pane, then Mark Group, Ancestors of highlighted person, Direct ancestors only, OK, OK, People who have no parents entered, but it generated (after a long delay) a list of all end of line people in my database.

This report will include everybody in your database without parents. But to get end of line ancestral people, you need ancestors without parents rather than everybody in your database without parents. There is no way in the report options to combine the "No parents" option with the option to choose a group. > I tried Selected People, Select from List, chose myself in the list in the left pane, then Mark Group, > Ancestors of highlighted person, Direct ancestors only, OK, OK, People who have no parents entered, > but it generated (after a long delay) a list of all end of line people in my database. What you are doing here is to mark people directly from the report screen rather than making a group of people but the net result will be the same either way you select the people to include in the report. It's just that you if you make a group, you won't have to re-specify the list of people every time you run the report. Rather, you can re-specify the group every time you run the report which may be a little easier. But no matter whether you do the selection of people as a part of making the report or as part of making the group, the marking procedure above will mark all your ancestors and it will also mark everybody in your database who has no parents. That is way more people than you want in your report. So you need to mark all your ancestors and then unmark everybody who does have parents. The individuals who will be left marked will be your ancestors without parents who will be your ancestral end of line people. Jerry P.S. Making a group from which to make a report may or may not really be all that much easier than doing the selection as a part of making the report. That's because RM's groups are not dynamic. Which is to say, for example, that if you create a group of your ancestors and then add new ancestors, the new ancestors will not be in your group unless you add them to the group. But that's a different subject for a different day.

When you choose People who have no parents entered, the "Selected people" radio button turns off, so you can't generate the report for just your direct ancestors.
