Simplest possible tree display and another question
« on: August 15, 2026, 14:55:33 »
I have a family tree with just names.  I want to display and print it but for every married couple a box appears which would contain marriage data if there were any.  This presence of this box means I have to shrink the display excessively to get it on one page.  Is there any way to set up the display so that the box is not included?

Also, why are given names separated by commas?  For example John Michael Smith is displayed as John, Michael Smith.  This is not normal in English speaking countries.  How do I change this?
Thank you!

Hi,

Thanks for your message:

- Let's start with your second question. You would need to transform your genealogy file (Gedcom file) to version 7.0 of Gedcom. Because the previous standard (5.5.1) did impose comas between first names and if you print exactly as it is written in shows the comas. In case you want to do that, you do it with Menu/File/Convert file

- For the second question, it could depend on which report you are refering to, but in general there is a display option in the options to avoid displaying families (marriages, etc).

Before doing all this: which report are you referring to ? Which ancestris version are you using 13 o 14 ? Which is you gedcom version (menu, File Properties).

Best regards.
