How do I create a chart or report of ONLY marked persons?

Hello! New user here. I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to export any report or chart based on ONLY marked persons.

Thanks!

Yep, very simple. Just check the "Prune: Marked [people] only" box when in the Report/Chart View.

Thanks, Tim!

It seems that all the charts will do that, based on the marked persons being direct descendants or ancestors. However, I'd like to have the ability to generate a chart or report that will not only take just direct descendants or ancestors, but also marked persons who are on the any level of the chart.

That is, if I'm generating a chart or report based on, for instance, my great grandfather, I ALSO want the report or chart to include ANOTHER of my great grandfathers - if both great grandfathers are marked. Is that possible, do you know?

And, I only find a few of the Reports that can create output based JUST on marked persons.

Thanks again!

la,

Ian

I won't address reports, but for charts the Relative Chart will be most inclusive. The lower you start on the family tree (you, for instance, rather than your great grandfather), the more people the chart will pull in. You can then restrict who from the entire pool is included by using the marking/pruning function.

Be careful that you have a path of marked people extending to everyone you want to include. If you mark a great grandfather but not his child that is your ancestor, Reunion won't be able to draw him in because there will be no path to connect with.
