That's a good idea - I hadn't thought of that. I haven't used the To
Do list much at this point (can we say newbie even after one year?)
I think I might combine this with Connie's suggestion about making a
NOT in census event.
Thanks muchly,

Thanks, Connie. I like your Event definition better than mine. I

Also, Ancestry has a new video tutorial on the features of their new search.
It is an eye-opener, as I had heard many negative comments. There are some

I was told by older researchers that you use the name as show in what source
you get it from, but behind the name you add (sic), which tells other
reseachers that this spelling comes with this source. I just don't have
