Hi Kari. I really don't have a solution for you. I can only tell you what NLS does in such instances. They give a verbal description of the chart. I'll give you a fictitious example. "[Scanner's note:There appears a chart which shows that the chief had three wives. He married wife 1 in 1827 and they had three kids, kid1, born in 1833, kid2 born in 1840 and kid3 born in1842. Kid1 married wife1a in 1852 and they had seven kids, kid1a, kid1b, etc etc. ... End of scanner's note.] You get the picture. It's still awkward, but it's the best solution I've found. Maybe others know a better approach. A double thanks to you as a new scannor. Thanks for asking, not assuming. And thanks for tackling a difficult task.

The Appendix has a genealogy chart with many cases multiple partners, sometimes related with in large family group. Does anyone have an idea how to present this? I use kes v. 10 am just figuring how it work. I am writing "children with as follows" but it may be confusing with all the interfamily/generations mixes. Any ideas?
