Hi Jeff,
To find individuals for people with data in a particular field try
Search - Notes - Medical - not equal to - <blank - ie don't enter anything>
For particular medical conditions that appear to run through the
family, I enter an Event for that condition. You can then use Show
List for the event to get your list.
Some ideas,
Cathy

One aspect of genealogy is medical genealogy where one can follow
the presence or absence of certain hereditary medical conditions
(diabetes, etc.) through families. So it would be useful to be able
to look and see what medical conditions had been entered in Legacy.
It would therefore be helpful to have a "master list" for medical
conditions or a way to search for them as a group. The search
module permits you to search for a specific condition or a wildcard
that continues a letter or more, but there seems to be no way to
generate a list of all medical conditions that have been entered. I
tried searching for Individual\Notes-Medical\Wildcard\* but that
resulted in a list of everyone in the database whether they had
something in their medical notes or not.
So, unless someone knows another way to do this, a suggestion would
be for Legacy to have either a master list for medical conditions or
the ability to search for "non-blank" (that is fields that contain some data).
