Jenny, If I may clarify your answer to Dee. Dee's original question is, in computer terms, a little unclear in that it states "no birth or baptism date".
Your answer says use the AND to link the primary and secondary searches. If AND is used this will only return results for individuals where both the birth and the baptism fields have no entry (ie where both staements are TRUE) whereas using OR will return results both where the AND is true and where either of the birth or the baptism fields have no entry (ie where both or either statements are TRUE). I am sure you know this but others may not.
