Ancestor Reports - customised to follow male line

Post by wulliam » 25 Jan 2021 15:46

Good afternoon,

Is it possible to customise an Ancestor Report so that it only follows the male line?

The main reason for wanting this is to be able to give a fellow-researcher all the documentation relating to the male line, without becoming distracted by the many other couples going back 6 generations.

Basically, I would like something like this, but in report format:

Thanks for reading.

I think the only way to do that is to select everyone in the Diagram you posted and create a Named List then export a GEDCOM for just that list and create a temporary Project to produce the Report.
See FHUG Knowledge Base Create an export GEDCOM based on a diagram
