Richard, I think what you are asking for is a search which will identify all those with the mitochodrial DNA of Ann Richer.
At present I cannot see how to do that without including at least one condition (ie. 'IF' clauses). I don't think Legacy can support this type of function so one would have to Use Access or OpenOffice.org to tag the people you want. And I don't think it would be easy either! You might like to consider asking for an enhancement!
