Does anyone know, how, if you decide to print an Ahnentafel book using the LDS PAF software, how you can make it put in all children from a marriage. Any sources I add, or wills or other info that I copy and paste into the notes come out ok, but it never shows the children of a marriage. any ideas? Lisa

Hisa Lisa The Ahnentafel book wont show all children from marriages, it only works backwards ie you, your parents, your grandparents etc etc. If you want a book showing everyone you have to choose the descendancy one choosing the person furthest down your branch ie your ggggg Grandad it will then start with him and list his wife and all their children, then the next generation will be all of his children etc etc. Hope this is clear. The other chart you could do if you want all children to show is the family group as this shows the parents and then shows the children and who they married. Karen

Thanks Karen. I have seen Ahnentafel charts that say X married Y and they had the following children, but obviously not the LDS PAF one! thanks again Lisa

Lisa I've double checked, If I do an Ahnentafel on basic PAF I get the above without the children. The answer is PAF Companion, I think it was about £12 from the LDS Distribution Centre Distribution Centre 399 Garretts Green Lane Birmingham B33 OUH Telephone: 08700 10 20 51 Give them a ring to confirm the price. dave

Thanks Dave Lisa
