Keith,
They're really not as random as you think. If you look a little closer to
the list, you'll see they're grouped by type - Names, vital Dates/locations,
notes, tags, events, addresses, etc.

Hi Barbara,
It's hard to say.
Which type of search are you using?
I usually use the Detailed search.
On that you have to make sure you are searching the correct field in
the right way.

I monitor the Rootsweb list and have responded to this person already as

It doesn't matter if he uses Search by Query or Detailed Search. Legacy

You have to "reverse engineer" this. A sample was also shown in one of the

if you could search dates in the family file - only

Tom,
Sorry, I just realised I included "Marriage" in the standard Events. Please

As you can probably guess I'm wanting a list of individuals with death
