Report der Familiennamen meiner direkten Vorfahren

ich habe 288 direkte Vorfahren und würde gerne eine Liste der vorhandenenen Familiennamen idealerweise mit dem Datum der Verknüpgung (durch Heirat) haben

z.B.

Burkhart - Meckel 1951

Burkhart - Kesenheimer 1914

Burkhart - Amann 1880

Kesenheimer Miller 1880

oder einfach:

Burkhart

Amann

Kesenheimer

Wachter

….

geht sowas?

I don’t think there is a report that does exactly what you want. I came up with a report which I think comes pretty close as follows.

  • Make a group of your female ancestors. They are the ones who will be bringing surnames into your family. The criteria for the group will be to mark all your ancestors for a large number of generations, and then “But Not” persons whose sex is male.
  • Create a custom report with columns for the person’s name, the spouse’s name, and the marriage date. Specify to sort on the marriage date.
  • Run the custom report, filtered by the group.

This is not perfect, but it is the best I can do. Here is a caution about RM’s custom reports. There are constantly questions to the effect of “I need a custom report for everyone in my database born in Tennessee between 1900 and 1910”. But that’s not the way custom reports work. Custom reports only define the data you wish to see - like names and birth dates and spouses names and that sort of thing. Custom reports do not specify who is in the report, or at least not directly. Typically you use the custom report to define your report and then you define the “who” with a group.

I will grant that you can pick the people from within the custom report without making a group. But if you do, it’s almost exactly like creating a report. And whichever way you pick the people, by making a group or by selecting them from within the custom report screen, the people you picked are not saved when you save a custom report. All that is saved is the columns of data you wish to see. If you want to run the “same” report again on another occasion, you still will have to pick the people again. That’s why it’s often most convenient to create a group of the people you wish to use in a custom report.

das klappt so wunderbar :slight_smile: ich gebe auch das Heiratsdatum mit aus

dabei habe ich bemerk, dass manche Hochzeitsdati nicht eingetragen sind; auch nicht geschätzt

Ich wollte mir das unter PEOPLE anzeigen und sortieren lassen.

Jedoch bleibt unter PEOPLE das Fels immer leer :-((

Hier das CUSTOMIZE:

was mache ich falsch?

A bit of work might yield another way:

Create a group of DirectAncestorCouples

Create a fresh new temporary database
Drag and drop (or GED export/import) that group to temporary database
Generate Marriage List report from temporary database.
Save the report to spreadsheet.
Open spreadsheet and delete Record# and Place columns, if unwanted.
Open browser to ( https://www.joydeepdeb.com/tools/find-replace.html )
Select entire Husband column in spreadsheet and copy all column text

Paste column text into Input Box at Regex Tool.

Type the simple regex filter string as shown below (comma space backslash w plus-sign period asterisk):

Click Find & Replace button:

Clipboard should now contain just Surnames and can be pasted over top of that highlighted Husband column to replace with Surnames only.

Repeat same process for Wife column. Spreadsheet will now consist of Husband surnames, Wife surnames and a Year column.

You are doing nothing wrong. The People view does not support couple facts such as Marriage and Divorce. It also doesn’t support relationships such as “Spouse”. That’s why I suggested a Custom Report. I knew that People view would not work.
