family group sheet - marriage of couple

Post by BevSmallwood » 13 Sep 2022 20:52

I've been playing with the settings but cannot find a way to print the marriage information for the parents of the family anywhere other than the family summary which includes a list of children.

Ideally I'd like the marriage/divorce/etc. without the children as they are already detailed below the parents.

Most FGS that I've encountered put the marriage info either between or below the couple.

What am I missing?

Sorry, but there are no Report options for what you have requested.

The Family Summary is a kind of Table of Contents for the people whose details are given in the subsequent sections.
i.e. Husband, Wife & Children and none of those can be selectively excluded.

All the Family facts such as Engagement, Marriage, Separation & Divorce can be selectively included in the Family Summary but nowhere else.

Other options involve using Save Report As... and editing outside FH, or writing a Report Plugin to produce a specifically customised Family Group Sheet report, or exporting the Project to another product that produces the style of report you prefer.

The approach I take is to have a custom Family Group Sheet set up to be as close as FH can get to my preferred layout, then edit in Word to fine-tune it. The reports are mainly for my own use to give an easy to review summary of everything I have recorded about a family. I find the pdf file very useful for spotting gaps and inconsistencies in the data.
