| Hello I have noticed that reporting of grandparents on the individual page appears to be incorrect when one is alive and is dead. This is an example: "His maternal grandparents were Ernest Low and Edith Ehr." Here Edith is alive, but we are informed that the grandparents "were", therefore, she is reported as dead. Not true. It should be: "His maternal grandfather was Ernest Low and maternal grandmother is Edith Ehr." This is the way parents are reported. Thanks Frank1

| King Semen, thanks for your response. I checked your link and at the end Ron appears to have a fix. It is the replacement of dictionary.xml, lang.vbs and util.vbs. Unfortunately, the links from Ron are dead. Also, I don't know if those files would work with the version I am using (V2b18g). Those files may have already been incorporated into V2b18g anyway. In that case my problem is different. There was a suggestion in the posts of your link that the fix for the problem would be postponed to after V2.0. I think that for a cosmetic problem that is o/k, but for a report generated that is incorrect, it is a different story. Ron, Maybe you could post the changes you made to those files (discionary.xml, lang.vbs and util.vbs) to fix the problem. I hope you can help with this. Thanks Frank1

| Ron, It's been a while since I posted this thread without your response. I think that you probably missed this thread. Could you please respond, even if there is nothing that you can do about the problem above. Thanks Frank1

| The problem you are reporting is indeed different to the one in the earlier post regarding grandparent phrasing. But the reporting issue is the same, it is one of complexity. The earlier fix has been incorporated and currently the code and phrase do not cater for this case where only one the the known paternal or maternal grandparent pair is alive. I personally am not convinced it is grammatically incorrect, since the couple refered to as 'grandparents' no longer exists, therefore I consider 'were' to be correct. Certainly 'are' could not be used. However I guess factually it is ambiguous and will add this to my 'to do' list for the Narrative Report.
