I noticed that on an ahnentafel report and on the wall chart, if I have the same couple appearing more than once within a single generation, sometimes the second appearance and any following appearances are omitted on the report/chart - treated just the same as people who aren't filled in at all in the database. (Sometimes the second appearance shows up fine, but the third and subsequent appearances are missing - it's not quite regular.)

And when I say "sometimes", I mean that if it is going to happen to a particular couple, it will always happen to that couple (not sometimes yes, sometimes no). There are some couples that appear multiple times within a generation and are both displayed in the ahnentafel or wall chart (and they are always displayed, not sometimes yes, sometimes no).

For the couples that don't appear, if I change the beginning person for generating the ahnentafel or wall chart so that the resulting report/chart does not include both couples, then the "missing couples" are included, so the database does know about them, it just won't pick them up when they need to both appear in the same generation.

I tried unlinking the child from the "missing" parents, and then re-linking and that seems to have fixed it in one case, but in none of the others. I have a family tree like a pretzel, so there are quite a few chunks missing in my ahnentafel and wall chart that should be there.

Anyone have any ideas?

Is the second listing of the first common ancestor missing? Or is it there and just the ancestors of the second and subsiquent listings which are omitted.

In a List, Ahnentafel the second listing of the common ancestors are listed with notes that they are the same as number XXX earlier in the listing. The same seems to be true of a narrative ancestor report.

On a pedigree chart, they are listed the second or third time to fill out the first page, but subsiquent pages point to the first page where the ancestors are listed.

The Ancestors wall chart lists the common ancestor the second and I suppose subsequent times, but does not go on to list this common ancestor's ancestors more than the first time. (there doesn't seem to be any note here though.)

Now, if you are seeing something different than that, then you should probably write back and explain exactly which report it is that is having problems.

If you are seeing something that I have listed, but would like to see all positions in a specific ancestor chart filled, you will probably have to add a request for that option to the wish list.
