I had that problem when trying to convert sources automatically in a direct
transfer from PAF 2.31
I am not clear as to what your problem is.
1. You don't have to have any filters to make a narrative report fro
one person, his spouse and descendants. All you need is his ID and a
selections of the report options. There is a descendancy narrative and
a genelaogy report with 4 variations.
2. By convention of the genealogical societies that established the
report formats, a person's birth name is always used in reports. When a
woman marries and assumes her husbands surname, in reports, her birth
name
First, let me state for all those who may wonder, given the tenor of some

Thanks to Lee & Allen for their responses to my query. I don't know why
I missed the listing at WG but that answered most of what I was looking
for. Although I knew that files with the DBF extension were the database
