Is there a way to print a descendancy list (just names, maybe names and dates)?

Is there a way to print a descendancy list (just names, maybe names and dates)?

I'm helping a cemetery association going before a judge requesting the deed or guardianship of a small 89 grave cemetery that has had no deed transfer in 120 years. I am trying to think of how my genealogy skills can help. I was thinking of just trying to find numbers of descendants for each of the 89 graves to show the vast number of descendants. I was trying to find living descendants and have made trees for all 89. Not really sure what to print out for the judge.

Alternatively, I was trying to find the number of descendant of the last deedholder (died in 1911)- to show the futility of trying to find an heir.

    What an interesting project! Could you please share with us where the cemetery is located so we can refer you to a group that does research for that area? And please be sure and report back here when you have completed this project - I for one would love to know how you finally organized your material for the judge.

    The cemetery is: https://www.findagrave.com/cemetery/2650696/eli-jackson-brewster-cemetery. It was two small Ranchito Cemeteries that merged into one and I am just wanting to be prepared with some statistics to show the judge but not really sure how to gather them the most efficiently.

    In my head I am envisioning like an infographic with say a dozen facts. ex 89 documented burials, 14 infants, 6 teenagers, 2 veterans, 10 unmarked, 18 that so far have not been traceable to living descendants.

    Right now I have a spreadsheet - which is super handy! Columns include name, birth/death dates, contact (descendant), obituary?, notes, link to them in familysearch tree.

    Would love to hear if anyone has any ideas on how to download name lists of descendants.
