Keith, It is incorrect to say that the Set Living function is only any good if there is a date of death, in fact of there was they would not be set to "Living".
Legacy will look for dates of birth and set anybody who would have an age greater than a set figure as "Not Living" (the default is 120 years but you can change this in Customise>Options). If there are any ancestors of a person set to deceased because of age they also will be set to "Not Living" Ron Ferguson _____________________________________________________________________ New Blog: Free Contacts Database for use with Open Office http://www.fergys.co.uk View the Grimshaw Family Tree at: http://www.fergys.co.uk/Grimshaw/ For The Fergusons of N.W.

Does anyone have a quick way of doing this? I am aware of the “Advanced set living” function BUT this is only any good if I have a date of death. The main problem for me is that I have many instances where all I have is a name with no dates. These may be many generations back but I don’t know of a way to identify these as being beyond by 120 year “living” flag default. Any help appreciated.
