Thanks. I intend to add an event but first I needed to find out what had
been entered in the medical notes because that is where Legacy had placed
the imported gedcom's cause of death field.
I may end up using the event for medical information rather than the
notes-medical field. I never even discovered these Medical notes till I
looked for where Legacy had placed the causes of death it found in the
gedcom I imported and discovered it was 'buried' under the Medical tab of
the person notes. I would have preferred it - as it was in my previous
genealogy program - more accessible: as a simple field on the 'Individual
Information' screen, right under date and place of death. It's too many
steps and too inconvenient for me to find it where Legacy now has it.

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).
