You can choose in the Tag tab of report Options whether these children who are not carried forward have all their Tags printed or just the brief summary like those children who are carried forward. If you want them to have their own section the best way seems to be to add a fake child, then edit that child out in your word processor after you create the report. Terry Reigel

Hi, Terry, Adding a fake child, etc., would be very time-consuming if I want the entire family tree (or trees!) to be consistent. So the way to have the most information included would be "Abbreviated events for children: Only children that are carried forward"? Thanks for your quick reply.

Judy, Yes, that gets everything printed. > Thanks for your quick reply. You're welcome, Terry
