How would I do that?

Then, the grandchildren would be listed in the same order as the parents. For example, “he is survived by his son, James and daughter, Sarah; grandchildren, Andrew, Melissa, Ashley and Rose. He was preceded in death by his son, Robert.”

In this scenario, Andrew & Melissa are the children of James, and Ashley is the daughter of Sarah. Rose is the daughter of Robert.

I hope this helps – let us know if you have any further questions.
