I'm new to the group and thinking about switching to Legacy. One of
the features I use a lot in FTM is the custom report. Is there a
similar report in Legacy where I can search for all specifics such as
all records that contain Elmira, etc.

You are correct, Jon. That is a much better way of expressing an empty
entry. However, for me there is a difference in the census enumerator
writing 'none' or leaving the entry blank, and I wanted to be able to
note that. It's just my way of noting the difference. As I responded

I source each of the events that correspond to what I have. If the
