Elizabeth thank you for this I did amend my search criteria and hopefully will pick up a few more results once I identify what the problem is. Anne

Elizabeth researching the descendants of William and Sarah (Patterson) Thompson ----- Original Message ----- From: smuggler <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com Sent: Thursday, February 28, 2008 7:03 PM Subject: [LegacyUG] Search problem Hello Jenny of this previously assisted me when I was endeavouring to locate all deaths between 1858 and 1946 to enable me to search for any wills in the English Probate Index. Jenny's very clear instructions which worked the previous time were as follows: You need to set up a Search as follows: Select the Search Menu, then Find ... Select the Detailed Search tab. Under Look for whom select Individual, under Where to look select Death Date, under How to look select After and under What to look for select 1858. Now tick the box for Second Condition and make sure the radio button for And is selected. Make selections in each of the boxes as you did above, but choosing Individual, Death Date, Before and 1946. Now tick the box for Third Condition and again select And. Make selections as above, choosing Individual, Death Place, Contains and England. Finally, select the radio button for Clear List before this search and then click the Create List button. I have just prepared to do an update and I received a "No results found" message and yet I had just recorded two items which would have fallen within the scope of the search. I even changed it to look for SRY or SSX in lieu of England as I knew I had recorded events for these counties. Is anyone able to advise me if I am doing something wrong?
