Customising Narrative Reports

Post by geopet544 » 21 Aug 2007 11:18

I should like to add the 'Notes' field to all persons appearing in the Narrative reports - Ancestors & Descendants. Is this possible?

Have you tried just including them on the reports options, which notes are you not seeing.

Try the settings below

No - the whole point is that if you create a narrative report (Ancestors or Descendants) only the note fields for the direct line ancestors are included -e.g. grandparents, but not great aunts/uncles; I want the notes field for all persons in the narrative report.
Somewhere on your site, I thought I saw something about 'editing the report Template' - would this be relevant?

Sorry I did not consider the children of ancestors as these are not actually 'ancestors', as far as I am aware on the descendants diagram all descendants should have full details.


If you want the other information, the only way I can think of is to print descendant narrative reports for each of the ancestors of the root down one or more generations. Another option might be to use individual narrative reports for all the people you want to produce information for.
