Family Group Sheet (for Web or CD)	All reports can be used as the basis of web pages when creating a website or a family tree CD. However, the two most commonly-used candidates are the Internet Summary report and the Family Group Sheet. This variant of the Family Group Sheet is provided as a matter of convenience. The idea is that if you wish to use a Family Group Sheet as a template for your web pages, you can use this version of the report rather than the normal version. The default options in this variant of the report have been chosen to be more suitable for website or family tree CD generation than the ordinary Family Group Sheet options. Also, this way, if you find that you wish to change the report options for use in this context (website or CD creation) you can do so without affecting the normal Family Group Sheet.

How Related	A report detailing how any two Individuals are related, directly or indirectly.
Individual Census Report	A report detailing Individual census events.
Individual Record Notes	Record notes are notes about a person as a whole (as opposed to more detailed notes which may cover specific events in a person's life, or specific attributes of a person). You can also have record notes that are about a person's family, and their marriage to another person. These notes are included in Individual Summary reports and in Family Group Sheets. But it is sometimes convenient to be able to read such notes on their own - which is what this report is for.
Individual Summary Report (for Web, CD or DVD)	All reports can be used as the basis of web pages when creating a website or a family tree CD or DVD. However, the two most commonly-used candidates are the Internet Summary report and the Family Group Sheet. This variant of the Individual Summary Report is provided as a matter of convenience. The idea is that if you wish to use an Individual Summary Report as a template for your web pages, you can use this version of the report rather than the normal version. The default options in this variant of the report have been chosen to be more suitable for website or family tree CD/DVD generation than the ordinary Individual Summary Report options. Also, this way, if you find that you wish to change the report options for use in this context (website or CD/DVD creation) you can do so without affecting the normal Individual Summary Report.
Individual Timeline	A report showing important events in a person's life (comparable to the information displayed in the Facts tab of the Property Box).
LDS Ordinances	'LDS' stands for 'Latter Day Saints'. Family Historian uses GEDCOM as its standard format. GEDCOM is the global standard format for shared genealogical data. It was created by the Church of Latter Day Saints, sometimes called the LDS Church. The format includes special ordinances which are of relevance to the LDS Church. This report covers these ordinances.
List Report	It is sometimes useful to create Named Lists of records for various purposes. You can view these lists, and edit them, in the Records Window. You can also attach notes to any list item. A typical use of a Named List might be to create a 'To Do' list, of records that you wish to research when visiting a Record Office. You might attach specific notes to listed records. This report allows you to print off the list, and any notes.
