Hello Patti,

You are right to question whether I up to this! <grin>

The good news is that I have a website pimble.info and the data is there. I
hadn't spotted the custom report facility before and creating a report for
the fields available is a piece of cake - many thanks for pointing this
facility out to me.

The bad news is that though the 'notes' attached to census records show when
I enquire on an individual they are not available to me in the menu of
available fields. Also the notes have a hyperlink to the citation but that
doesn't appear on my available field list.

In summary the data is there, reports look easy to create, I just can't see
the fields I want to include in the report. Must go and do some reading as
this is the most promising solution so far.

Many thanks Gerald

Gerald,

I don't know if you're up to this solution. There may be something
easier. The program The Next Generation is a website application
into which you import gedcoms. It has the ability to recognize any gedcom
tag you've made (you just have to approve it in an administrator interface).
Then there is a place where you can create custom reports from anything that
has been imported in. The Next Generation works with Web server software and
you install it on the server connecting it with an sql database. You can do
the same on a home computer, although that's a bit more complicated than
installing, importing, and creating reports on The Next Generation.
