If I had a person called John Robert Daniel Smith and his nickname is Dan, then in the notes section for this person I just enter the following: John Robert Daniel's nickname is "Dan". If I want to find a list of everyone called Dan I would go to: search>find: look for whom: individule>where to look: notes-general>how to look: contains>what to look for: nickname second condition>and: look for whom: individule>where to look: notes-general>how to look: contains>what to look for: "Dan" Select "clear list before search" then click "create list". This will create a list of all individuals in my file who have the nickname "Dan" that I'm aware off. Leo Have you unlocked the real power of Legacy?
