    1. [TMG] Unknown spouses, no dates, no places
    2. Muriel Parker via
    3. I'm trying to develop a Descendant Indented chart for a family with four children. Two of the children come up with "unknown spouse" instead of the names, as does the mother. I've tried using the father and the mother as the subject and it happens in both cases. * Also**, *no dates or tags (b,d,m) appear. I have checked and rechecked the options and cannot see anything wrong. I have done a report going back a generation and this is the only family with unknown spouses, however, no dates or places are appearing. Hope someone can get me on the right path. Many thanks.

    3. If you use surety settings, that can cause omissions in reports if the report Surety option is set to filter out certain surety levels. Set the Surety option on the report's General tab to have the "No Threshold" and "Include blank surety" items selected. If this fixes the problem then you probably have an incompatible surety setting on one or more sources for the people who aren't appearing. -----Original Message----- From: tmg-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:tmg-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Muriel Parker via Sent: Sunday, August 30, 2015 10:21 AM To: TMG@rootsweb.com Subject: [TMG] Unknown spouses, no dates, no places I'm trying to develop a Descendant Indented chart for a family with four children.

The children show up with "unknown spouse" instead of their names? Or they are shown as the children by an unknown spouse? If the former, I have no clue. If the latter, the issue is the children have only one parent entered. Either there is no Relationship Tag connecting them to the other parent, or the Tag is not marked as Primary. Go to the Person View of one of those children. Do you see both a mother and father shown at the top with the child's name? If not, look in the main Tag Box for the missing Father or Mother tag. If you find it, select it and click the [ * ] button or press the * key to make it primary. If it is not there, enter one. Terry Reigel
