Greg Don't forget that John's TMG Utility will attack your data and set all the Birth Order flags for you, using birth dates (and/or Sort Dates?). Of course, if you have no birth date entry it can't sort, but if you add a temporary sort date for those missng ones it will work. Much faster than doing a manual hunt through your data!

I have a lot to learn! On my FGS reports, in the heading for each child, why does a "?" (question mark) appear before the "M" or "F" in front of each child's name? (Each is preceded with a "?/M" or "?/F", depending on the sex of the child.) I can't see anything the the designation of the parents that might them appear to be conditional/questionable. Thanks in advance.
