I am a new user of Gramps and have just recently begun putting information into my first database. I have had to read up about filters and my understanding of them is that they effectively reduce the amount of data visible (by filtering from sight what is not wanted). This is the opposite of what I am trying to do; I want to show 'more' data than currently shows in the report. I want to show the second family of a descendant so I can identify that the children of the second wife are not those of the spouse that shows. I realise that I could 'overcome' my problem by not showing any spouses but I know that some of the family members to whom I would like to 'report' would like to see them. Meanwhile I am continuing to input data. :) Tony |
