— Check marriage and children order  The Help screen describes this: "If this option is selected, all marriages for a person will be compared to see if they are stored in order according to the recorded marriage dates. Likewise, all children of all marriages will be checked to see that they are stored in the order of the children's births. If any relationships are out of order, they will be reported as possible problems. If you turn this option off, the report will run much faster."
