<DescendantLists>

March 13, 2022

The <DescendantLists> option is used to select individuals for whom descendants lists will be generated. They are constructed similar to <AncestorLists>.

Example

In this example, two descendant lists are setup. The first uses a record id for the descendant and a unique name for the second. The second descendant list does the opposite.

<DescendantLists>
  <ShowSources>  true </ShowSources>  
  <LimitSources> true </LimitSources>  
  
  <DescendantList>
    <DescendantId> I1                   </DescendantId>
    <AncestorId>   Peter Wallard Wilson </AncestorId>  
  </DescendantList>
  
  <DescendantList>
    <DescendantId> Henry Cooper         </DescendantId>
    <AncestorId>   I100                 </AncestorId>  
  </DescendantList>  
</DescendantLists>
