kappclark Posted September 19, 2022 Report Share Posted September 19, 2022 I wasn't sure how to list the topic... my brother has discovered that our parents have a common ancestor (John Thomas Scudder 1587 - 1657)...making them 9th cousins with no removals... Is there a way in TNG to have a report generated showing the descendancy for each individual from the commpn ancestor ?? Right now the relationship calculator says they are spouses..THX!

bhemph Posted September 19, 2022 Report Share Posted September 19, 2022 If you change the number of relationships to show from 1 to 4, does it show the additional relationship? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfloridian Posted September 19, 2022 Report Share Posted September 19, 2022 Hi Bill, It's not surprising to find such consanguineous marriages the further back you go. In 14th, 15th and 16th Europe, whole communities were decimated by waves of epidemics such as The Black Death. And yet, the population rebounded within three generations. The peasantry in particular lived very parochial lives usually within a radius of about five miles (the distance a man could walk twice in a day courting). Cohabitation was usually between people or families you knew - including your own. I don't go as far back as ninth cousins but in my own tree we have 100 cousin marriages including 40 between first cousins (and first cousins once removed). TNG does (did) have a Mod which can chart these from within your database. I'm not sure whether it remains current for your version of TNG. I'll send you a PM with my own chart and a link to an article we wrote on the subject for our website Cheers Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more common, than you think. Both of my Parents lines, (Frew & Nightingale) come from the same family. My Father from one Sister and my Mother from another Sister. That was in 1824 and 1825. My 1st Cousin's also married. He was born in 1942, she in 1948. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kappclark Posted September 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2022 Thank you all for the guidance ... looks like changing the number in the relationships field does the trick....and even her Majesty the Queen married her 3rd cousin .... Curious if a 15 generation chart for relationships can be saved or exported to PDF somehow so I can share with siblings...the output is 2 screens worth ... should I print it to a pdf ?

bhemph Posted September 21, 2022 Report Share Posted September 21, 2022 In Firefox, you can save the page to a PNG file and send that around. Trying to print the page directly can look ugly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Lloyd Posted September 21, 2022 Report Share Posted September 21, 2022 There's an extension for firefox that may work - Print Edit WE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen Prunty Posted January 3, 2023 Report Share Posted January 3, 2023 I hope you don't run across the Howard Family from eastern Kentucky. They commonly married first cousins and it gets <cough> difficult. I ran into one instance of a 5 way cousin in that family... and the desktop genealogy program I was using at that time had so many "warnings" on that family that it drove me crazy because it was correct yes they indeed married each other and they also recorded it all in verifiable vital statistics by the govt. I would be afraid my file would blow up the Cousins Mod. Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
