The trick I use is to tag the husbands (or wives), and use the search on individuals, which finds the marriages, missing only the women (or men) with no spouse. But that should grab 90% or better. I have found tagging the marriages useless since the marriage list is never trimmed, but it shows both spouses in the individual list instead. In the past, it didn't show 'only tagged marriages', like the Search list. I asked for this in L5. Rich in LA CA
