Cheryl, If you did not assign a source to those individuals you keyed in then there is no way of doing what you are asking other then to do the page by page look up. However, if you did assign a source then you could just tag all those individuals or marriages that are assigned that master source. Once you have done that, then you could do an advanced search: What to search>individual how to search > not equal to which ever tag you assigned to the ones that had the source.
That should give you a list of those that you didn't source the book. You could then assign them a different tag number that you can then look them up to see if they are in the book or not. -----Original Message----- From: singhals Sent: Tuesday, April 01, 2014 5:42 PM To: legacyusergroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: [LegacyUG] ISO labor-lite suggestions re tagging Database/familyfile of ~15,000 persons and 5100 marriages. ORIGINALLY created by keying in the contents of a genealogy book. First done in PAF5, then ported to Legacy 7 and then to 8. Everyone in the book ought to be in the db/ff. Unfortunately, while documenting those people, I've added people who should have been in the book but aren't (siblings, children, parents). It's too late to tell me I should've thought of this sooner, so we can skip that part of the class. I need a *quick* way to tag maybe 25% in the db/ff who aren't in the book. I /can/ hypothetically sit here with the book in one hand and page through it again finding and tagging those people. I suspect the Galaxy will atrophy before I could finish that because apparently I have to have the person in the "primary" position to click a tag. 5 marriages took close to 2 hours. I considered the "tag family", but that'll end up tagging everyone, including a sibling and descendants who aren't in the book. I can find /some/ by the omission of the import source. That won't help the ones added prior to moving it into Legacy. Ideas welcomed here. Cheryl -- Russell G. Strong P. S. Check out Legacy Family Tree today!
