- Reunions and similar publications:
- Annual reunions
- Holiday family gatherings
- Often warrant producing some type of booklet for attendees.
- Booklets are often small – less than 100 pages.
- Often updates of booklets prepared for earlier gatherings.

- Title
- Table of Contents
- Introductory section(s)/chapter(s)
- Overview chart section(s)/chapter(s)
- Narrative section(s)/Chapter(s)

|
6
|
- Table of Contents, Bibliography, Index and Endnotes depend on the
reports included.
- Overview charts – normally Descendants Indented or Pedigree or Box
Charts.
- Narratives – normally Journal or Descendants, but occasionally
Individual.
- Individual Narratives may be used for beginning narratives of any kind
(preface, foreword, etc.).
- Plan to use your word processor for output.
|
7
|
- Create a non-person.
- Use a Given Name to indicate the purpose of the narrative.
- Enter a Surname to denote the group.
- The Surname could be a place or some other designation.
- Add Anecdote Tag with only Memo text.
|
8
|
- Can be created in any text editor and pasted in the Memo field.
- Add citations, index entries, and formatting as desired.
- Content will depend on the focus of the narrative
- Preface
- Foreword
- Introductory chapter
- Introductory section to a chapter, etc.
- Normally, only one Tag to each non-person.
|
9
|
- Determine desired “book” content
- Determine content sequence.
- For each report/chart, open and create a special Report Definition
Screen – each with its own Configuration Name.
|
10
|
- Assign a unique Configuration Name.
- Select focus (non-)person and enter ID#.
- Select File output with word processor File Type and enter a FileName
(and FilePath).
- Adjust starting page number (may be adjusted later as needed).
|
11
|
- This and similar following slides indicate options and fields to select
or enter information to create the desired report. Many of the options/data will be determined by the
user’s own preferences.
|
12
|
- General tab:
- Report Title – enter desired section or chapter heading.
- Researcher information – turn off for a book.
- Select other options.
|
13
|
|
14
|
- Vary by report but similar on most reports.
- Defaults often good for the first run.
|
15
|
|
16
|
|
17
|
- Each Report may or may not have or want Sources output.
- Some Report may want Footnotes, Endnotes, Unique Endnotes, or Embedded
Sources.
|
18
|
- Like Sources, this may or may not be desired for any one report.
- This may be the same selection as Sources or it may be different.
- When printed, I usually select Footnotes for Memos for most narrative
reports.
|
19
|
- Exhibits may be desired for some reports.
- When selected, I usually prefer the Embedded option.
- I may need to edit the resulting report for final placement, etc.
|
20
|
- The Index tab selections here reflect my usual choices for a Journal
Report.
|
21
|
- Most books will want a Table of Contents and a Bibliography.
- A “book” of “List of” reports probably will not need either/
|
22
|
- Again these options depend on the report and the user’s desires.
|
23
|
- The Miscellaneous Tab changes based on the report type.
- The display shows the screen for the Journal report.
- I only add the option to “Include spouse events”.
|
24
|
- Open Book Manager.
- Create a [New…] book giving it a name.
- Select and add available reports (Configurations) in desired sequence.
- If Report Configuration is not available, create it using [<Add
new…], enter new Configuration (Report) Name and [Edit] it.
- If the selected Report Configuration needs changes, highlight it and
click on the [Edit] button.
- Select the desired options :
- Confirmation of each report
- Overwriting of files
|
25
|
- Consider the reports needed for the book when the desired sections are:
- Title
- Table of Contents
- Introductory section(s)/chapter(s)
- Overview chart section(s)/chapter(s)
- Narrative section(s)/Chapter(s)
- Bibliography
- Index
- Endnotes
- For this example, we need three reports:
- Individual Narrative report
- Descendants Indented chart
- Descendants Journal Narrative report
- Create the three Report Configurations as discussed earlier.
- I created the Report Configurations as follows:
- Individual Narrative report
…… Cruise Book 1
- Descendants Indented Chart ……
Cruise Book 2
- Descendants Journal Narrative …… Cruise Book 3
|
26
|
- The Book Manager Screen is where you build the “book” using the Report
Configurations you have created.
- I named the book here as Cruise Book A to go along with the names that I
gave to the three Report Configurations.
|
27
|
- When all reports and options are selected, click on the [Print &
Save] button to begin generating the book.
- The selected reports will be generated in the order that they are listed
on the left side of the Book Manager.
- TMG will request data for filters, whether to allow overwriting of
files, permission to set Flags, etc. depending on option selections.
- TMG will request confirmation of the various steps within a report as if
you were just running the one report if that option is selected.
|
28
|
- When all reports are done, the Book Manager will very briefly display a
“Finished” notice on the screen.
- You may then re-start Book Manager for whatever reason (different filter
focus?), change options of one or more reports, different book, etc.
- You may click [Cancel] to close the Book Manager.
|
29
|
- When all reports have been generated, open each in your word processor
and edit them as needed.
- Depending on your needs, two or more report files may need to be
combined.
- In the example, we had three reports generated and thus we would open
each one.
- Then we would edit each report separately to tweak it as needed for
separate printing.
- I usually add a page-section break at the end of all but the last report
if I plan to combine the separate reports into a single word processor
file.
|
30
|
- After necessary editing of the individual reports:
- Open the reports.
- Copy the text of the second (or later) report.
- Paste the second report text to the “new page” or new sections of the
first.
- In the same way, copy/paste the third (and later) report texts to “new
page” or new section of the first (following the second (or subsequent)
report).
- Adjust the headers and footers as needed.
|
31
|
- Add other page or continuous section breaks as needed:
- A page break is needed before the endnotes to provide for a place to
insert the Index.
- If you change the endnotes to end of section then you may place the
index at the end of the report.
- Create/adjust section titles including any provision for the table of
contents.
- Add a provision for making the endnotes be in two columns as desired to
reduce the number of pages in the book.
|
32
|
- Add a new page section break at the beginning of the entire file to
allow for a title and table of contents page(s) and any other pages.
- Enter the title, author, place, and date that the “book” is published.
- Enter any copyright notice.
|
33
|
- Add a Table of Contents title.
- Create the Table of Contents.
- Note that TMG uses ‘Table Entry Fields’ to create the Table of
Contents.
- This is an option in MS/Word and probably other word processors.
- Review the entire report.
- Print the report.
|

- The example book document is posted on the TMG Tips web site at: http://www.tmgtips.com/BM-Example.zip.
- It is a PDF document.

- The McDuck, Duck, and Coot families are old, established lines whose
names are well-known due to the many well-publicized stories by their
biographer, the late Walt E. Disney and his successors. The families are very closely related
due to numerous inter-marriages as well as inter-marriages with other
families, notably the Rockerduck, Mallard, O'Drake, and von Drake lines. In addition to these, the families
also are connected to the following lines: Gander, Goose, McFowl, Naldo,
von Concius, Gadwall, Grebe, Loon, McHaggis,Tinhas, Wildduck, and de
Canard. These families are truly international in nature in that one can
find clans in Scotland, families
in America, and relatives in many of the various European counties.
- Many genealogists have researched these families. Some of the first were likely
associates of Mr. Disney: Mr. Don
Rosa, an engineer from the University of Kentucky, and Mr. Carl Bark. Your writer began his interest in the
families back in his youth, but became more serious in June 2004. Another well-know genealogist who has
looked into the family is the well-known Dick Eastman who wrote of the
family in the 8 May 2005 issue of "Eastman's Online Genealogy
Newsletter".
