Dear Lorna

Thank you for that advice. I now have the diagram looking just as I want and have saved a custom diagram. Now to move on to Custom Queries and Plug-Ins with LUA - the 'fun' continues.

Dear Jane The screenshot of the diagram, as I have been able to get it to, and a 'mock-up', using Photoshop, of what I would like to achieve, is posted in my reply to this thread dated 30 Dec 2019 16:50.

Dear Jane, Peter and Mike Thank you for all your help a while back. The product is now purchased and I am back to addressing the whole set of issues for which I bought the product in the first place.

Dear Mike The View > Standard Diagram Types > Descendants, with customisation to a minimalist level, is, on the screen, precisely what I am looking for, or at least close thereto. My follow-up questions, at this time, would then be - Can I exclude the marry-in spouses from the diagram, and only show...

Dear Jane and Mike Thank you for your useful suggestions. I apologise for confusing the terms query and report. The 'output' that I was referring to in my original query was that produced by Publish > Outline Reports > Descendant Outline. Thank you Mike for your patience in setting out some hints re...

My attempt to include an image link does not appear to have worked, so I have attached the jpg instead.

I am new to Family Historian but have been working on my Family tree research using Ancestry and MyHeritage, each coupled with their respective local PC programs, for over five years now.
