Dear Ron,
Is there an available Descendent Report skin that reports all descendants (indented by generation, say) of a member before moving on to the next member of that earlier generation and their descendants etc., creating more of a “tree” effect to the report itself. As this is such a common genealogical report display method, there is probably a name for it, and skin somewhere. This as opposed to my current skin with the drop-down name of “ \Latest English Descendant Report\*(Descendants Report) {EN} “ which lists the First Generation in full, then Second Generation etc. and requires looking back to some numerical connection to find which original branch they belong to. Many thanks. Regards, Don

Hi Don,
There is not currently a report in the format you describe. I think it should be quite straight forward to produce such a report, perhaps borrowing bits of code from the current Descendants Report.I'll keep it in mind should I be at loose end this winter, but of course someone else could give it a shot too : :

Hi Don,
Has been wet & windy here lately so got my head stuck into a good (net)book  to play with some new toys (well new to me anyway). I have been delving into the mysterious web world of jQuery and its multitude of plugins. One in particular caught my eye - jqGrid. So after a few days struggling to unravel its mysteries I have come up with a script to create a Hierachical Descendant Chart. This is an HTML report with a collapsible tree structure. The report is still in its infancy put I am happy to publish the first draft. It works OK with Firefox (3.5) but IE8 is problematic at present - doesn't work at all locally and complains of 'stack overflow' when loaded from web. I have put a sample report on FamilyTrees for those interested in taking a look and providing feedback. The GenoPro skin to generate your own reports is attached. Just select one individual on your tree and run the report. The report just generates an XML file DescendantTree.xml which is read by the jquery code in the HTML page DescendantTree.htm which if you are familiar with jQgrid and/or jQuery UI themes you can customise it.Update 2009/12/20 See this post for further updates to this skin

Ron, thank you for this new report, which may be useful to those familiar with popular descendant trees.
My first few comments:
1) have to select very small font(on the screen) in order to see all data (cutoff by column width in case of normal font selection), may be a big problem when running more than 5 or 6 generations.
2) a printed report puts the header on the first page and the data on the following pages(should be together, as shown on the screen), data is not shown or only partially due to column width and font size.
3) symbols in front of individuals, family, etc. are not printed at all
4) you are using "=" for married, how can I set this to "oo" for married and "o|o" for divorced?
5) i think the line "family:" is not necessary or should be named "children"update: to 4) solved this partially. to 5) solved this partially However: if I have a person baptised 40 years after birth, then married, then divorced, it says behind the spouse [Divorce], then comes the wedding(civil) line, then a blank description line with the divorce date, then the religious wedding, the baptism date is in the column "ceremony" without description on the line of the spouse. I think the description[baptism] should be behind the spouse (instead of the divorce) and the blank line should have the description "divorce" and should be the last line, behind the religious wedding. a screen

Thanks for the feedback maru-san, I have done a bit more work on it changed the approach to use a single column with qualifying data following the individual's name. The Report on familytrees has been updated to show the revised layout but I have not updated the attached skin as yet. There is a problem with Firefox also when collapsing branches (too much recursion error). I have also put in your symbols for marriage/divorce. The wrong font was being used because of a lack of a 'doctype' header causing Firefox to run in 'quirks' mode. I will ask the authors of jqGrid about the blank page when printing too.

Fixed the Firefox 'collapseRows' issue with help from the jqGrid folks and have now posted the revised skin in the easrlier post. Also tried to add self-install .exe version using 7-Zip's self-extractor and JScript but this forum does not allow .exe attachements. so added an extra .jpe extention to get around this. Rename to remove this in order to run the installer. (MD5 checksum is "403cb2dc0e316efa988b218197d16cc7" if you want to verify download)Still need to look at printing issue and improve reporting of family relation (marriage etc.). Need expand all & collapse all buttons. Also IE does not render the tree when generated locally.

Do you have any plans to incorporate pictures into these descendant reports?

Skin updated to use TreeView plugin instead of jqGrid and to use FancyBox plugin to display photos as a rather nice 'lightbox'. e.g.
Please Note: Report must generated into a location containing an existing Narrative Report to access pictures. This is because the GenoPro Report Generator is a little limited when handling pictures. The only option is to copy ALL pictures from the .gno file (or selected GenoMap) and no direct option to copy over only selected pictures.

Hi Ron!
This is nice Report! Thank you!
But I do not see ONE picture in Descendant Tree 2.0.1.6 (2009.11.09):
Possible this is reason:
I have long ago noticed - if no NUMERALS or ENGLISH letters in picture name (there is only russian letters) - all pictures are RENAMED in 'pictures' directory of report (all versions of English Narrative Report) and first file is without extension (ALWAYS): 
Picture without extension does not appear in Descendant Tree Report.
But no problems with this picture in English Narrative report (!).
