Hi Kathy,
I've just done a quick check and I have individuals with no birth event
or a birth event with no data and I'm not seeing the duplication of the
individual's name in Outline Descendant Reports. If I have children with a
birth event with no data, I am seeing the duplication. Odd I've never
noticed this before, perhaps someone else knows why this is happening?
