Dave,
You have to also enter a number for "Starting number on continuation
charts." In most cases, that is 2.

Joan,
THANK YOU! Figures that it'd come down to operator error.
I don't remember being asked for that previously for fixed charts.
Digging further, I find that those fields were greyed out and not
selectable until I went first to sequential, then back to fixed
order. Hard to say if this is a bug, or a "feature".
In any case, I can now print my charts, thank you very much.

Subject: [PAF] English and Welsh Graphics
Friends;
When I prepare handouts for my genealogy classes, I often want to
include graphics. I have had difficulty in finding drawings which I
consider suitable (i.e. line drawings in black and white) on the subject.
Here in the Portland, Oregon area we are fortunate to have a small
business called The Tree House which caters to genealogists. The
propritor recommended that I purchase a particular CD. The title is Data
Graphs Wales, but it contains both English and Welsh figures. It
contains 249 figures. Of those, I consider about 129 of them to be of
possible use to me as a genealogist (the remainder are chapter headings
and fancy initial letters).
I have been very pleased with the artwork. The only problem that I
have is deciding what I want to use from the listing. To remedy this, I
am preparing a book of miniatures (about 25 to the page) of those
illustrations. If anyone who is using this artwork wants a copy of the
miniatures, I will be glad to send the file as an attachment. Please
note that although the graphics are *.gif files, I am using WordPerfect
so the file that I send will be in the WordPerfect format (*.wpd).
The disk which I have purchased is Data Graphs, Wales. I have
forgotten what I paid for it. If your local source of genealogical
material does not carry it, you can use their web site which is
WWW.XTENDALINE.COM. There were other CDs of similar clip art, but I have
forgotten the titles.

Dave,
It looks like this is a bug in the program. I too tried Print Reports |
Cascading and got "Please enter a positive integer"

Subject: [PAF] Direct line Males ??
Can I make ANY of the PAFs give me a list of *ONLY* the direct male
descendants? (You know, the sort of report someone had to do on Sally
Hemings and TJefferson?)
FOCUS will give me a list of all the *men* which I could then check
manually; or it'll give me a list of all the men with the right last
name, but some of those same-surname men are double-descends (i.e., Miss
X married Mr. Cousin then a few gens later Miss Cousin married her
cousin Mr. X which gives him the surname but not the genes), but I don't
see any way to produce an *automatic* list.
I've got PAF 2.0 thru 4.?, and PAFCompanion, or if strictly necessary I've
also got FTW and UFT if either of those'll do it.

I believe you have Gen-book. I think it has an option for "Exclude female

Companion will allow you to list only male lines in its Register report.
Just unclick the option, "female lines." Personally that option irritates
me. Since when can you eliminate women from a line of descent? Just how
do the men think they got here? To eliminate women means you throw out half
your genealogy. But if the intent is to trace those carrying the surname,
this procedure is faulty, anyway. What about the daughters who bear
illegitimate sons? Those sons carry the same surname as the other males of
the family, but will be excluded from the descendancy because they descend
through a female line. And what about adopted males who carry teh surname
and will be included, but are not blood-line descendants? And what about
males descendants who change their surname for whatever reason? In Germany,
there are "farm names" where the male will change his surname to his wife's
if he goes to live on her family's (or deceased husband's) farm. Then all
their children will have the farm name, not the father's name. It is very
naive to assume that all families consist of married couples, and all sons,
and sons only, bear the family name, till they die.
The only way I would consider allowing the "Female Lines" option in any
genealogy program would be if there were a companion "Male Lines" option,
so the males could be excluded and only female lines printed. That's only
fair. As Companion is now, it will print male lines only unless you click
"Female Lines." Yes, it is checked by default, but that's not the point.

You are on the right track but quit too soon. Go one step further and
access the RINS
you saved in the focus file and access that data with FR and print a
descendancy
chart from that.

From: "Thomas D. Sevy" <sevy99@deseretonline.com>
Subject: [PAF] New Event/Attribute - Problem
Sent to PAF Lists and to PAF Support
I plan to try a suggestion offered by a member of our List that I add
a field with the standard spelling of my surname so I can do a sort
by 1. Standard Surname, and 2. Given name to give all e.g., Henry
Sevey, Henry Seavey, Henry Seavy together. Here's what I did and what
I got:
OPTIONS, NEW EVENT/ATTRIBUTE, NEW.
Title: Standard Surname for Sorting
Short Title: Surname
Abbreviation: SN
Date: none
Verb Construct: The most common spelling for this surname
Place Preposition: is
I then SELECTed the new event and on the Edit Screen I see:
OTHER EVENTS
Standard Surname for Sorting
Place
Confidential (with "s" to click on for Source)
I note that it would not allow me to leave the Sentence Usage blocks
blank, even though I would not want this to be part of a book or other
report.
I then went in and defined a new Event/Attribute and this time I
selected DATE. Except for the title of the attribute, the rest is the
same. the name of the field for the new date is called "Place". I
expected the SHORT TITLE to go there.
I have two questions: #1. Is this typical to have every attribute
called a "Place"? #2. Will the fact that PAF4 assigns this
designation have any effect on later searches by place? #3. Can PAF
be modified to programmers make the terms more appropriate? #4. Can
NEW event/attribute fields be excluded from Standard book report
formats.
