For more assistance go to the Legacy 5.0 book page 268. When Searching for Individual Event-Name Equal to Census, Each person with a census event will be true, but the reverse, Individual Event-Name Not Equal to Census will give everyone that has an event, that is not census. The problem is that people with no events are left out of the mix. A possible solve is to run "equal" and tag it. Then search for TagX not tagged. This is the list you need. The logic involved is explained here. If you want to find all the blondes in a group. If you want non-blondes you can either tag the blondes and pick untagged, or find all red heads, untag, find brunettes, untag, find black haired, untag, but you may be missing those with silver, white or no hair.
Hope this clears up the mud.

It is unfortunate, but events are very difficult to search for in a way that meaningful for many situations. That is especially true if you need to specify more than one condition for an event, such as a date later than "x" and a date earlier than "y", since those date selections will be applied to EVERY event for an individual rather than for the SAME event as would be needed for meaningful results. I hope this explains why you are getting what you are getting, even though it doesn't provide a solution for you.

All my emails to the list lately haven't shown up, although I am getting emails from the list. Here is my question: I am trying to find all people that have no census events. Search for Individual event name not equal to census My event name says Census Yet I get results that have census events Please advice thanks Elaine Legacy User Group Etiquette guidelines can be found at: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp To find past messages, please go to our searchable archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup%40mail.millenniacorp.com/ To unsubscribe please visit: http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/LegacyLists.asp Legacy User Group Etiquette guidelines can be found at: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp To find past messages, please go to our searchable archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup%40mail.millenniacorp.com/ To unsubscribe please visit: http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/LegacyLists.asp Rich in LA Legacy User Group Etiquette guidelines can be found at: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp To find past messages, please go to our searchable archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup%40mail.millenniacorp.com/ To unsubscribe please visit: http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/LegacyLists.asp
