How can I find who was born /married etc on a certain day on FTM?

I have FTM 2006.

How do I find how to get a list of ancestors anniversaries?

Say I wanted to see if anyone had a birthday tomorrow, or wedding anniversary etc?

I sure I have done this before but can't remember how to do it.

Click View (top of screen)

Then select Calendar from the dropdown,

make sure you select the month of September for events that happened during September, October for October etc.




Rubs tired eyes and decides to leave screenshot version of "creating a calendar" for another day!!!!!!!!!

Or make a custom report...........include birth date or possibly birth cmt/location depending how you save your info. This will give you a list of all birth dates entered.

For marriages info add marriage date to the report.

Ah, thank you Glen. I knew I'd done it before.

Is there a way of seeing who died on certain days as well?

[Glen in Tinsel Knickers]

Custom report.........items to include death date

Put all three in one custom report for quick reference, something like this;


rubs very weary eyes and adds screengrab #30something

gaps in the report show where you have been lazy.........i mean where you need to look next.
