You know to click on the little down arrows at the right side of each little search field so that it opens a little drop down menu. This is where you can make your choices for the search criteria. Mary From: Diane Szabo I have 120,000 names in my file. I need to find all of the ancestors' names where a "note" (biography, or other) has been added. Obviously, not all of the 120,000 names have a note or notes. Is there an easy way to do this? I tried using the search feature, but I'm probably doing something wrong because it didn't work. Hope someone can help me with this.
