Is it possible to do a report on FTM, which would show People that were born in a certain year/month? I've looked but can't see a way of doing it myself.
Thanks
You can do a report and put the birth dates in chronological order - but if you are wanting to do this just to find ancestors who were born in a certain month of the year then it wont work!
Click on the report icon and select Custom
In Contents select Items to include
select name and date of birth
Then click on Format and select Sort report and select sort by name in the drop down list.
Thanks Elaine, I knew there must be some way to do it. Unfortunately, it won't help me find births in December for Simon's advent calender idea :(, but its good to know anyway, thanks
Click on Edit and then on Find Individual.
Then in the little search window that appears, click on the dropdown menu next to Search, and then select Birth date by clicking on it.
In the box next to for, enter "December" or "Dec", and then click on Find next
This will bring up the December births one by one.
If you are trying to find birthdays and anniversaries for Simon's December thread then ......
Go to VIEW
Select CALENDAR
Select CONTENTS / ITEMS TO INCLUDE
Select December 2007 - Birthdays and Anniversaries untick the box which says "print only if still alive"
... you will then see the names of ancestors celebrating during the month of December - check in your index of individuals (using the relationship calculator if necessary) to see if they are direct ancestors and for the full dates etc.
Works in FTM2006 - not sure if the calendar is available in previous versions of the program.
Thanks Elaine. this didn't work for me when I tried before, but this time I noticed that I'd ticked a box to allow only those still alive, when I removed that, I got a lot more.
