Colin,
1. Yes you are correct, in Tree finder a Tree of one only, is an unlinked
individual.
2. Location List is at View>Mater Lists>Location and gives a list of the
locations in your file and who they are connected with.
3. Potential Problem Report is at Tools>Potential Problems and will give
you a list of all the potential problems which you choose to search for. Not
all of these may be problems eg a child born before parents' marriage and as
was said, you can prevent these showing again by clicking the "Exclude from
Potential Problems" button in the Individual Screen.
