I said on GEN-COM-TIPS that TMG may be able to do what you want, But I
now agree with Dennis that you cannot do it in an Ancestor Report. As
I said you can do it in a Descendants Report.

Dora, this web site is Descendants , not Ancestors.

In a Descendants Report TMG will handle multiple ancestry by referring
to the first occasion of the person.
However in an Ancestor Report the duplications will be printed out.
You had two other questions on your GEN-COM-TIPS query. The web site
question has been answered, I think, and the irregular date question was
answered.
