Re: [LegacyUG] Search for event details
Hi there Thankyou to Dennis and the Bain family. I think you have hit the nail on the head. I have events for all the census years, where I can and out of the 3863 in my search 131 had still got the 1911 date in them. I shall take heed and do the tag and search and see if it improves the situation. Ta for that Gwen On 6/08/2010, at 12:39 PM, Dennis M.

Re: [LegacyUG] Search for event details
Gwen, You can minimise the number of returns by selecting as before but also use AND born after a date of your choosing to eliminate those whose are probably dead.

Re: [LegacyUG] Search for event details
Hi there Thanks for that, The 131 odd ones have the date 1911 in the date field and are still showing in my search. Shall sift through again and see if I can get a better result.

It seems a little hit and miss to me? If you did actually select "Not equal to" and entered "1911" but you have entered the Event date as "02 April 1911" (or some variant) then you would not get the result you are wanting. You would need to enter the date in your Search criteria exactly as you entered it in your Event data. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergr...@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
Re: [LegacyUG] Search for event details
This problem pops up at least once a year on the LUG. If you have an individual with 2 events, one event WITH a 1911 date and one event WITHOUT, what happens when you tell Legacy to list individuals WITHOUT a 1911 date? It will list this individual because at least one of the dates WAS NOT 1911. So if you really want to find individuals WITHOUT any 1911 events, you should first tag everyone in your database. Then search for individuals WITH a 1911 event. Then UNTAG these individuals. The tagged individuals that are left are those WITHOUT any 1911 events. Confused yet? Maybe someone else can do better with this explanation. -- Dennis Kowallek (LTools) http://zippersoftware.com/ltools http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ltools *** On Thu, 5 Aug 2010 16:46:56 -0700, "Bain Family" wrote: >Of the 1911 Census people who were improperly included, have you checked >them to be sure their 1911 date is in the date section and not in the >description section?

Re: [LegacyUG] Search for event details
Hi Gwen, Of the 1911 Census people who were improperly included, have you checked them to be sure their 1911 date is in the date section and not in the description section? I've had almost the identical problem all because some of my dates ended up in the description section when I imported to Legacy. ~Lana -- From: "Noddie" <7thw...@ihug.co.nz> Sent: Thursday, August 05, 2010 4:03 PM To: Subject: [LegacyUG] Search for event details > Hi everyone > > I am hoping this has not been asked before. > I would like to make a list of individuals who do not have 1911 > census details in the events I have created. > > I did a search > IndividualEvent-date Not equal to 1911 > All ok I got a list of 3863 individuals > > I checked the info and found that some on the list had been included > even though their 1911 date had been filled in. > > I am a little nervous with this, as I am not sure now that the search > is full proof, and wonder if I am doing it the > wrong way.

[LegacyUG] Search for event details
Hi everyone I am hoping this has not been asked before. I would like to make a list of individuals who do not have 1911 census details in the events I have created. I did a search IndividualEvent-date Not equal to 1911 All ok I got a list of 3863 individuals I checked the info and found that some on the list had been included even though their 1911 date had been filled in. I am a little nervous with this, as I am not sure now that the search is full proof, and wonder if I am doing it the wrong way. It seems a little hit and miss to me?
