Brian, Advanced set living works from the youngest to the oldest and identifies those who are dead from that data. However, this does mean that some can be missed where there are missing dates from the younger generations. LTools has a routine which works from the oldest down thus catching at least some of these as well.

Go to Tools > Advanced set living. Legacy will scan your entire database and set to dead those who are more than a specified age (the default is 120). There is also a way to search for all the living: Go to Search > Find > Detailed Search Look for whom - Individual In where to look use the drop down list to select Living How to Look - Equal to When to look for = Yes Brian Customer Support Millennia Corporation br...@legacyfamilytree.com http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com We are changing the world of genealogy!
