These programs include whole families of ancestors with multiple marriages in ancestor reports and leave your dates alone

The following programs import your dates exactly as you enter them, and/or
print entire families of ancestors with multiple marriages instead of
assuming you only want certain spouse and children known, in an ancestor
report.

I have found that it is amazing what the existence of choices does for
product developers when all intelligence, common sense, and ability to
listen to customers fail.

PAF, PAF Companion, Legacy, Roots Magic, Ancestral Quest, The Master
Genealogist, adn The Complete Genealogical Reporter (a utility), all import
your dates from your GEDCOM or database exactly as you entered them and
leave them unaltered, no matter what you entered.

The Complete Genealogical Reporter truncates whatever date text exceeds a
certain length, but it does leave "abt 1835" and standard dual dates alone.
In addition, he seems reasonable and to want to please, so I asked him if he
could please lengthen that field.

Two utilities that work with your GEDCOM; Brother's Keeper and The Complete
Genealogical Reporter, include all the children of all the marriages of each
ancestor in ancestor reports.

Of course, to create that GEDCOM implies that you are using some
other program for data entry... GEDCOM itself is only a text format
created for transferring a specific set (a set meant for submittal to
the LDS, anything beyond that is not guaranteed) between programs.

Brother's Keeper makes you add spacing and bold text and font changes, but
that goes alot faster than having to cut and paste in the missing
information from all your French Canadian families with multiple marriages
and then end up with no index!
