I finally decided to quit waiting for the next version and started to try to understand the possibilities of what's there. Loaded a Gedcom, played around some with the report format, (maybe more on that later) and then decided to get into the Organize options. Stone wall. Neither the Organize menu nor the BHO icon nor F9 will bring up an Organize page. The Gedcom and Log icons work, the header bar grays out like the program was trying to do something, but nothing happens. I'm at a loss to know where to start. I've downloaded another copy of the program, reinstalled it a couple of times, to no effect. I'm running Win 7 64bit on a moderately powered Acer laptop, tend to operate with lots of open windows, but does ok with things like Delorme Topo or Goldwave or ACDSee, and loads my 500 name Gedcom in an eye-blink. It's gotta be something dumb. Any ideas out there?<br /> Dave</p> <p>PS: Push, Push, Push </p> Questions and Answers http://www.beholdgenealogy.com/forum/topic.php?id=138#post-410 Sat, 14 Jul 2012 22:13:17 GMT brett 410@http://www.beholdgenealogy.com/forum/ <p>Louis</p> <p>The following is created after GEDCOM export by one of the programs I use.

I have some ancestors from the 1700's who were married more than once having children with each spouse and then the children were adopted/blended into one family. I noticed on my file, that one of these families showed that a child was a member of one of the families (he died shortly after birth). This child had a younger brother who does not show up under the biological dad, but does show up under the adopted father. Is there a way for this child to show up under both the biological and adopted parent?<br><br>Thank you.<br>Jennifer Questions and Answers http://www.beholdgenealogy.com/forum/topic.php?id=63#post-218 Sat, 19 May 2007 02:20:24 GMT sjm1010 218@http://www.beholdgenealogy.com/forum/ Hi Louis,<br><br>Wondering if you knew what the following tags stand for?

Does 'Behold" or any other program allow you to select a "To individual" and a "From individual" for Ancestry/Descendant charts? We really don't want all the extra people on the charts.
