Hi Tom,

in my opinion the order of the marriage entries depends on the marriage
date. I have tested a little bit with the example database and always get
the right order (when changing the marriage date, then the order of the
spouses changes too). And also in my Family database, the numbering of the
spouses are correct.

Your second problem:
The individuals of the "Relatives Chart" must be different for each partner,
because for example the parents of your wife are not relatives to you. They
aren't ancestors of your blood line. So the individuals of your relative
chart are normally different to the individuals of the relative chart of
your wife. Only if you and your wife has the same ancestors then some of the
individuals must be in your chart "and" in the chart of your wife.
But the relative chart of your children should contain both, your relatives
and these of your wife.

Have you tested this chart type with the default report definitions? For me
it works fine.
Do you have the newest Genbox Version (3.7.)?


Best regards

Ulrich
