Teresa,

The dates are correct. I copied them straight out of TMG and pasted them in
my e-mail. Oddly enough, they are correct when I run an IN on just that one
person, but I have re-run the descendancy report twice, and each time the
burial sentence has moved up to follow the marriage sentence, as below, so
that the result is birth, marriage, burial and death. When I run the IN, I
get the expected B, M, D, B, sentences in the right order.

The burial sentence shouldn't start a new paragraph, as I want it to
immediately follow the death sentence, but it's not getting there and I
cannot figure out why.

Thanks,

Cheryl
