I am working with Germans from Russia. There is indexing available on line for birth, death & marriage records from the 1830's through the 1880's. When I find the name of a parent I go and pick up all the information from the indexes for that family and put it into the notes. Then when I have time, I go back and do the data entry and sourcing for the family. I want to tag just an individual not a whole group. I may have 7 or 8 people I need to find to finish their information at a time. As I work with exit records, parents are listed and I try to put the whole family together. After I tag an individual, how then do I find that person quickly again. The number 1 or 2 or 3 show and turn blue but when I click on it nothing happens. Where do I go to find that person with the tag. Yes, I can go to the name list or Index but I do not always remember the name I am looking for. I am data entering close to a 100 people a day. I need to fully understand how to tag individuals so I can quickly find them to finish them up.

There are 8 tabs which you can add into the future group. Near the bottom you can switch to a different person to start from. For example make the first choice Mary Smith; all her ancestors, then Mary's descendants, lastly her mother inlaw (only). When you have named and saved, you can attach any tag number to all at once.

I have a very large database (over 40,000) and as I am working with the families find information on them I add to the notes section. I want to know how I can tag these people so I can go back and add the information I have put into their notes more easily. Do I list their names after tag descriptions? Help does not full explain how to mark individuals. If I add a tag it turns blue for everyone not just for him?
